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'm posting this here as I am sure more people will be comeing across this issue. I installed Security Update for microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (KB2565057) and lost Intellisense in SQL Server Management studio 2008 (not R2).

An uninstall of the SP restored Intellisense .. Don't you just love Microsoft????
