Visual Studio 2008 Locks or Freezes in ASPX

I have been having this issue for a while now, it seems to happen at random, but it's pretty consistent. What happens is suddenly when you are working with a project in Visual Studio 2008 with an ASPX page your visual studio will lock up and become unresponsive forever. You have to crash it, and pray that you saved recently. Here are some links that I found to help me fix it.

What worked for me was finding:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\
OFFICE12\Office Setup Controller\Setup.exe

I ran it as an administrator and told it to do a repair. Once this was done not only did Visual Studio stop locking up, but loading the ASPX pages is faster as well.
