Visual studio 2010 can't find definition of anything except local variables for a solution

Question

I have installed a fresh copy of windows 8.1. Installed VS2010 and Visual Assist latest trial version. Before installing a fresh copy of windows VS2010 was finding definition/ references/ call hierarchy of everything correctly for that solution. Now it shows A definition for the symbol "OBJECT" could not be found.

Here OBJECT is the variable/function of which I want to find the definition/reference for. Visual assist works find though. I disabled visual assist from extension manager. But it doesn't work either. It works fine with the older versions of the same solution. I have added some projects as reference of other projects. I don't know if it is the cause of the problem. Thanks.

EDIT: The solution consists of 13 C++ projects.

Answer 1

It is problem with Intellisense that has got stuck for that particular solution.

Microsoft has sort of unhelpful msdn articles about it. In practice it gets sometimes stuck and it may help if you order (or enforce by deleteing) it to recreate its databases.
