Why is SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Intellisense not working?

Question

I\'m being driven to insanity trying to figure out why Intellisense just fails to work at all. The server I\'m using is local and is 2008, the database is set to 2008 compat

Answer 1

I tried all the fixes - taking databases offline and then bringing them online, installed Cumulative update 10, repaired SQL Server Installation, refreshed local cache, made changes to the required settings on SQL Server Management Studio but everything was in vain. Finally installing the correct service pack (SP1) did the trick for me !

Follow the link below, and download SQLServer2008R2SP1-KB2528583-x86-ENU.exe (or the x64 file for a x64 bit instance of SQL Server)

Finally i have Intellisense enabled !
