MonoDevelop freezes as soon i start typing in class file

Question

I am using Unity 4.1.0. It works fine unless i open MonoDevelop (that is delivered with the unity package) and as soon I start typing in it freezes and does not come back. I have to kill the process from Task Manager and restart it again but it does not allow me work in it anyways. Please help me on this ASAP. I am using HP630 i5 machine with 4GB RAM and installed Windows7 64bit version.

Try executing it as Admin. If not, you could try to reinstall it or try out the compatibility mode.

Thanks for reply. I am executing it as Ad$$anonymous$$. Also tried re-installing it and also tried an older version of unity(4.0.0) but doesn't work.

Maybe you have more than one monodevelop instance installed. Make sure you have updated you system, you can check updates in control panel->System and security->windows updates. Then i would uninstall the unity with mono. Complete full system virus scan, clean the registry and defragment my hdd.

Another common problem are long line in the file. If you open a file that has even only a single line that contains about 500 characters (might vary) monodevelop becomes very unresponsive. It's getting worse the longer the line is. It could take up to minutes before it responses to a single action.

In short: never open a file which has longer lines than about 160 chars.

If you have such a file you should break up the line into several lines. This should be done in any other text editor(notepad, ...)
