HI
I just migrated from VS2008 to VS2010 Pro. When I use windows controls in forms in Visual Basic, the snap lines to other control does not appear to help to place the the controls with others. I checked the the option, all was checked and set to be enabled but still no guide lines!!
Any ideas?
Regards
I found a different solution. I had the same problem running Visual Studio 2010 professional on windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3). Updating my graphics driver was not possible (Intel 82945G express), so I tried lowering the color quality in the display settings from "Highest (32 bit)" to "Medium (16 bit)" and it worked!
Control Panel, Display, Settings Tab, Color Quality.
I found the problem after extensive searches on the internet. The Snaplines are visible after I updated the Video Card Driver for my machine!
I found the solution in this webpage:

My laptop computer is MacBook Pro 13" 2010-mid with nVIDIA 320M GPU. My OS is Windows 10 x64 ver 1607. The nVIDIA driver version is 341.98.
I meet a broken GUI rendering problem. See the screenshot of Visual Studio 2017 RC GUI:
You can see the Solution Explorer pane in the left shows a broken rendering.
Actually, there are not only Visual Studio GUI, but also many application GUIs have the same broken rendering problem, for example, JabRef, Atlassian SourceTree, ...
And, there are not only Windows 10 but also Windows 8 having the same problem. Does anyone have a solution or workaround?
I find workarounds for several my frequently-used apps. These workarounds show the problem comes from the GPU hardware acceleration. Disable the acceleration for working around the broken rendering problem.
For Java apps (e.g., JabRef), the workaround is to set environment variable J2D_D3D to false. See:
Swing rendering appears broken in JDK 1.8, correct in JDK 1.7
For Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) apps (e.g., SourceTree and Visual Studio 2017 RC), the workaround is to disable WPF acceleration by adding a registry value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DisableHWAcceleration
with data "1." See:
How does one disable hardware acceleration in wpf?
i had many problems with windows 10 on MBP Pro mid2010, i resolved all my problems by installing the upgrade to Build 1909 by downloading the upgrade utility:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
after that i installed BootCamp4.0.4033 and by magic all works fine.
I'm trying to install visual studio 2013. I have an iso file and I'm mounting image to drive but the installation doesn't process anything after displaying Visual Studio logo and a black rectangle after that.
Visual Studio logo appears. See Image
Now logo gets disappear and there is a black rectangle box in front of me.
See Image
I can move the box by pressing mouse button and moving it even with 2 inch below the box.
I have Windows7 32 bit with service pack 1 installed in my desktop. Core i3 and Intel HD graphics. I have Titanium Studio, Visual Studio 2010 and other regular softwares installed as well.
The exactly same issue happens when I attempt to install VS2012.
I googled quite a while and found some topics on https://social.msdn.microsoft.com complaining this issue. Basically, the answers ask to check Windows Update and make sure it's up-to-date, especially .NET framework to version 4.5.x. So I do this, and after installing updates and restarting several times, it finally works. Maybe you can try this way too.
I found solution for myself. I was using a software which was protecting my pc's graphic driver and was using another one. I removed that and VS installed as usually.
You should try to install at least once without any driver in your system if you are facing such issue.
In my case it was a missing file machine.config in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG. I copied the file from another PC and installation of VS2013 immediately started, and completed successfully.
Visual Studio 2013 for Desktop is displaying incorrectly. When I open the program, it displays correctly but upon moving my cursor over links or images inside of the interface, they either expand to fill the whole window or the line itself blurs.
I'm running Windows 8.1. I've run it in compatibility mode for XP, Vista, and 7. I've run as administrator. I've reinstalled and repaired. This error is easily reproducible and has occurred over the course of 3 days.
Any help would be appreciated.
Can only guess that your video card vendor happens to maintain a bad driver (or Windows Update pushed a bad version to your machine).

The workaround is to disable hardware graphics acceleration and test again.
I have installed VS 2012 some days ago.After activation there are some strange lines in the UI
that appear on menu and code editor area.I don't know how to get rid of them.

another example while repairing VS : Picture
VS2010 and 2012 use WPF for their UIs - it's likely this issue is with your graphics card or driver. Please ensure you're running the latest graphics driver versions. If the issue continues then I suggest you try running other WPF applications and seeing if they render things okay.
I am using VS2010 Premium with a dual-monitor setup. One of the monitors is on a digital (DVI) cable and other one is on an analog (VGA) cable. I have noticed that when I put VS2010 in the analog monitor, there are garbled texts and refresh problems while coding and/or scrolling. This does not seem to be the case when I put VS2010 in the digital monitor. Note that, I am not expanding VS IDE to use 2 screens, just making it 1 full screen, either analog or digital.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
I also work with VS2008 and have not seen this problem in either screen. VS IDE has started using WPF from the 2010 release, not sure if this has something to do with it.
Edit: M/C information: The machine is an E6410 Dell laptop with Intel HD Graphics inbuilt. The monitors are connected through a docking station.
Final edit: Got resolved after I installed Win7. Guess it was a graphics driver issue, but I couldn't resolve it on Win XP Pro.
check that the monitor has highest safe screen refresh rate. also, check for drivers.
"I do not know if I am running other WPF apps - how do I find out? "
Visual Studio 2010 is a WPF app.
Is your video card a "low end" card?
