My Macros stopped working?

Question

For some reason the macros I use in my VB.net IDE (VS 2005) stopped working. I wrote them myself and used them for a couple of years before they quit working. I have never had a problem before this. I've been trying to find a solution for a few months now. I have tried repairing and re-installing all the service packs and patches for Vista.

I have tried including my macro folder in the add-in paths, but when I do, the options window locks up and I have to use the task manager to close the devenv.exe.

This is driving me crazy.

This is a known issue caused by a recent Windows update. See Visual Studio 2010 Macros Stop Working after February 2014 Windows Update for solutions how to fix it.
