VB.Net 2002 Missing names

[Guest]

I use Visual Studio.Net 2002 to code in VB.Net on a Windows XP SP1 PC. When I am coding and open a solution, only the first 9 names/titles are shown in the tabs across the screen. My application has quite a few classes etc and I have to hold the cursor above each blank tab to get what each one is. Having said that, every so often they all do appear but disappear next time up for another week or so.

How can I fix this so I can see every time what each tab refers to ?

Try clicking those little arrows next to the tabs on the right.

I had the same issue. I believe it was fixed in 2003, as I have not seen
that behavior in it.

Thanks for that, DC
Did you not manage to fix it in 2002 then ? I have checked for patches on VB, VS and XP but haven't found anything at all so far. I guess it's going to be more expense to get the upgrade..

Ive seen a few complaints about it in the groups, but nothing ever
documented by MS though. I just stopped looking after a while, so this may
have changed since then.

Its definitely a bug with painting, though. You'll have to rely on the
Solution Explorer or CTRL+TAB through your open forms (or keep them under 9,
of course)

JimJ,
In addition to the others comments.

Ensure you have the most current Video driver.

I remember having this problem. I don't remember if upgrading the Video
driver or upgrading to VS.NET 2003 fixed the problem.

Hope this helps
