Dear all,

In short, I've installed .NET on a workstation under an
account with administration rights. But, after installing,
when I tried to start the IDE I got a problem, "it showed
the splash screen but after locked everything on my PC."
So, I did not any choice except rebooting the system.

Would you please let me know if there is something special
about this stuff.
An early answer would be appreciated.

Bests,

VS.NET is tricky on Windows NT. It is "supported," but barely. I would not
personally load it.

Now, depending on your CPU and memory, it may not have been permanently
locked. To load the IDE on the laptop they gave me at work P3 - 733, I think
(definitely P3) with 128MB RAM, it takes about 3 minutes to load. Projects
are just as much of a dog. But, it is Windows 2000, so it loads quite a bit
nicer than NT4. WIth more RAM, my machine would run better, as it takes
200MB+ to load up. Open Task Manager and then start VS.NET and see what it
is doing to your system. It may be overloaded, not locked.

Depending on your development needs, consider WebMatrix or SharpDevelop and
the .NET Framework SDK. It may get you past the hurdle.
