How to get IntelliSense to reliably work in Visual Studio 2008

Question

Does anyone know how to get IntelliSense to work reliably when working in C/C++ projects? It seems to work for about 1 in 10 files. Visual Studio 2005 seems to be a lot bett

My includes are setup correctly, no problems there. I've also tried the NCB rebuild several times but it never fixes it 100%.

I have a feeling it may be to do with forward declarations of classes. e.g. to reduce the complexity of includes in header files we normally do something like:

class MyPredeclared;

class SomeOtherClass
{
private:
    MyPredeclared* m_pPointer;
}

I wonder if that screws it up? Any other ideas? It definitely gets worse the larger your project gets.
