title: project can't be opened, visual studio crashing
body: <p>Last thing I did was add a timer in a user control which updates form color. Now every time I open the project, it loads it up and then says 'Visual Studio Stopped Working'. </p>
  
  <p>I noticed that Visual Studio 'runs' the timer while in designer mode too, so I thought that might be causing the problem so I removed the timer from designer.cs and then renamed all the files Visual Studio was opening, but still it crashes. All the other projects work fine. This is the 4th time that it has happened to me. I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate. Any suggestions please? </p>
