Studio:Why is AutoSense no longer working and causing Studio to hang?

AutoSense depends on external files which, if corrupted, may cause it to no longer work properly and cause Studio to hang. To recover from this, complete the following steps:

1. In your workspace directory, there is a TagFiles folder, which contains the tags for that workspace. Delete this folder and all of the files in it.
2. Restart Studio.

After you delete the above files and restart Studio, these files will be rebuilt. The amount of time it takes to rebuild these files depends on how many there are.

3. If you are still having problems, delete all of the files with a .vtg extension in C:\STRIDE\bin\vslick\S2Custom. This will most likely include the StrideStaticObjs.vtg, StrideJS.vtg, and/or StridePL.vtg files. There may be other files if you have any other ActiveX-compliant script engines installed other than JScript and/or Perl. Important: Do not delete any other files in this directory, or you will have to reinstall STRIDE.
4. Restart Studio again.

When the system files deleted in Step 2 above are rebuilt, it will take several minutes to rebuild the Perl tag database. This will not occur until you start writing a Perl script. To force this to start, open a Perl script and type $main::.

If you are still experiencing problems, uninstall STRIDE and reinstall it from scratch.
