I think most of us have been already played with Vista operation system.

Someone likes it, someone have a negative experience with it. This article will be for second ones.

Yes. Vista looks nice, but has a lot of compatibility issues. Such issues
related to hardware drivers problems or applications running problems. I had no possibility to allow working my ATI Radeon 1950XT graphics card with ATI drivers (it could work with MS drivers, but only as 1900 family card). My favorite video player - GomPlayer - does not work, no Java applications work stable and some more problems.

I’ve played with Vista during trial period and have decided to turn back
Windows XP. The system drive had been reformatted and XP installed. After the XP installation I had some troubles with system stability until I’ve not fixed the MBR - Master Boot Record. Now XP works fine for me.

Problem:

You have removed a project outside of Visual Studio IDE, but that project was referenced by a Web site(s) included in same solution.
After the VS loading you are removing the absent project from a Solution Explorer.
Then you are trying to build your solution and got the error message shown at the picture:

“The project file ” has been renamed or is not longer in the solution”

Yes, it is true and you VS here is fully correct
But it does not solve the problem.

Solution:

Please look at the Property Pages of your web site(s) and you will see the the following - one (because we are talking about only one removed project) of the items in References tab will be marked as unavailable.
Remove it (click “Remove”), click “OK” and try to build your solution again.
Good luck !
