Visual C++ Locks up the computer...

Shortly after I start coding in VC++ my entire computer locks up and I have to restart it.  This has happened every time I have tried to use the program.  I am really disappointed because VC++ 6.0 isn't supported anymore, so this is all I have to use unless I want to spend lots of money...  I like Microsoft's products a lot more than compilers like dev-cpp and stuff, but this really sucks...

So anyway - does anybody know why this problem happens, or does anybody have the same problem

    I looked at the system requirements, and I have well over what is required.  However, I am running an AMD64 processor on Windows XP Pro.  The requirements say that I should be running Windows XP x64 Edition.  I think I will get that and then try VC++ on there before I file a bug report.  Thanks for replying and helping.

    I haven't seen the same issue before. Are you sure you have the hardware needed If yes, then I would suggest logging a bug with a sample project reproducing the issue at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/default.aspx. This way the responsible folks will take a look at the issue straight ahead.

    Thanks in advance for reporting the issue!
