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've had the same problem too. Searched everywhere online and can't find a solution. I did install Redgate's SQL Prompt which functions similarly to Intellisense, so maybe there was a conflict. I've since stopped the Prompt from running, but now no intellisense at all. Using SQL Server 2008 will SQLCMD mode off, no luck at all. This has happened before, a reinstall of SQL Server was the only thing that I could get to work.
