forced Keep checked out in VS 2005 on Vista

A new problem, not huge but very annoying:

Environment: Visual Studion2005 client 4.0.2 Version VS 2003 compatible plugin. (If i set the 2005 plugin I got an exception (explosion))

I check out an item
Edit the item
Check in the item

And it remains checked out.
The "keep checked out checkbox on plugin settings is not checked".

If I visualize the pending checkins window there is a key with an option
Keep Checked Out that is checked, if I uncheck it then I can check in the item but if I check out something else the check returns to true so I have to uncheck it again to check in.

As a test I've tried the following:
If I check the keep checked out checkbox in the plugin settings (just to see if it work reversed) nothing changes so it just seems that flag is ignored.

More than this, now when I open a solution, a "GET" window appears (while on XP it does not) and the only thing I can do is OK then all files in the solution are get latested i presume, but where there are 2500 files it is a little bit long...

Are there some new settings I haven't seen to put things back to normal use???

thank You in advance
Regards
Sabrina

In Visual Studio, go to the Environment area of the Source Control settings instead of plug-ins. There's a check box there for keeping things checked out.

On the second issue...
In Visual Studio under Tools - Options - Source Control - Environment, there is an option to perform a get when opening a solution or project. Uncheck that.

If I'm missing where you have things checked or unchecked, then can you post some screenshots of the settings?
