I have tried creating a simple WHDG project using versions 2011.1.2116 and 2011.2.1019 of Infragistics ASP.NET (latest versions available at the time of this post) and have had to use the Windows Task Manager to repeatedly kill Visual Studio after 1-2 minutes of use. This seems to happen when closing the browser with debugging enabled, switching to design mode, and just about anything else.
My PC is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with the version latest security and other patches, Visual Studio 2010, version 4.0.30319 SP1Rel, and SQL Server 64 bit 2008 R2, version 10.50.2500.0. I have 16 GB RAM and lots of disk space.
This is incredibly frustrating. Any suggestions?

Maya:
Thanks for your efforts to follow-up with me. I'm afraid today is the first day I've had a chance to get back to this issue. In response to your questions, see my answers below:
1.Does this happen in any project containing the WHDG control? - Yes, I've tried creating several very simple projects using both .NET Framework 3.5 & 4.0 and as soon as I begin to configure the WHDG using the "smart tag" screens in design/split mode, VS 2010 freezes.
2.Does this happen in all browsers? - If I open the project and immediately launch the application without opening the form in design or split mode, it seems to work well in IE 9, FireFox 8 and Chrome 16. However, when I exit the browser and return to VS 2010 and begin work in design or split mode, VS freezes.
3.Does this happen with any other control? - I have another ASP.NET project which does not use the WHDG control and have had no real problems with it.
4.When did this issue start reproducing? - I have never used the WHDG before and wanted to test its functionality and speed. As noted above, the problem appears as soon as I begin to work on the WHDG control in VS using the design surface.
5.Does this reproduce in any other environment that you test the project in ? Yes - it happens on both my Win 7 64 bit desktop and laptop.
6.Have you tried to preinstall the controls? - I'm afraid I don't know how to do this.
7.Does the VS generate any kind of error message when it crashes? - "Crash" is probably not the best word to describe what happens - VS actually freezes and won't respond to keystrokes or mouse clicks. The Windows Task Manager shows the VS dev environment running at 12-13% CPU utilization and the amount of memory used by the application continues to grow until I end the VS task.
