2008 Management Studio Hangs PC

[smedvid]

I have searched for some some clues to this issue. When openning SSMS, I click on an object to say enter design mode for a table... PC will hang. I also had this when I tried to view properties of a Job. My SQL Server 2008 SR2 appears to have all latest patches. My PC has been re-imaged by IT twice with no affect. It has to be something related to software or other registry corruption.

If I open a New Query Window, the problem does not seem to appear...

Any ideas are appreciated. tia,

Do you by any chance have two different versions of SQL Tools resident on the same PC?

Well - Kind of...
Our IT group deploys an Image of software...
I have SQL Server 2008 with only Configurations Tools listed as menu item
and
SQL Server 2008 SR2 - with what appears to be a full install.

My 2008 SQL Server Instance I connect to appears to be at correct and latest patch level/version.

Any suggestions or clues to this mystery are appreciated....

Thanks...

tell your group IT to manually remove and re-install it on your PC - it would seem that the image they are installing is corrupt
