Visual Studio 2008 error while closing window layout

My VS2008 crashes whenever I close it if I change the way the windows are arranged (for example, docking the output window elsewhere). I disabled all plugins, etc. I suspect that the settings file for the layout is corrupt or something like that. Where is it and can it help?

You might want to apply the following fix:

Please note that the correction was not subjected to regression testing, therefore, problems with it may occur. Install it only if it solves your problem.

To find out if your user preferences are, back up your preferences using the tool options, then reset and check if this problem fixes. If so, then you can slowly restore the old settings of 1 partition at a time to find out what causes the problems. At this point, you should reset and restore all those that worked again.

I had to do this once when the find / replace dialog disappeared. If I used a short cut or menu, a dialog should appear on the screen. Doing the above resolved the issue
