visual studio 2012 has stopped working

I had similar problem which was resolved by taking two steps : 

1A. DELETE THE REGISTRY KEY : 32-bit machine> [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionAppCompatFlagsLayers]

1B.  DELETE THE REGISTRY KEY :  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"=""

2A. GOTO :   32-bit machine>  [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudio

2B.  DELETE THE FOLDER CONTAINING  VISUAL STUDIO VERSION WITH  PROBLEM: e.g  11.0 and 11.0_Config
