Syntax highlighting no longer seems to work in Visual Studio 2005 (at least for me.) I have the August 2006 DirectX SDK installed. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, has anyone found a fix for this problem? Thanks!

If you are using VC++ 2005 express, syntax highlighting is disabled. If you are using standard, professional, or higher, then I'd suggest trying to reinstall the SDK.

Same here. Reinstalling SDK didn't help. However there's new October SDK, maybe it will work correctly.

[EDIT] Installing October SDK didn't help. In "About/Installed products" box in VS2005 I can't see "DirectX extensions" installed. I remember it was there before August SDK. Is it possible to install it manually?

Just like g0nzo I tried uninstalling the August 2006 SDK and installing the October 2006 SDK and still no syntax highlighting. (I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional.)
