I just installed Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 (my OS is Windows 8).
After installing, whenever I open Visual Studio I got the following error :
It's OK until here, but if I open a project, Visual Studio crash

How can I fix the problem ?
Edit:
The problem doesn't solve with re installing update 2.
If you experience crashes of Visual Studio, typically when working with a very large solution, your IDE might be out of virtual memory. Typical indicators of the problem include a "one or more errors occurred" message, "the process appears to be deadlocked" message, and OutOfMemory exception in a crash dump.
If while opening a large file, VSCode freezes and then crashes, you need to delete some files. So, open Run, paste “%AppData%” and click Ok. Now, open Code > Backup and then delete the only folder that is inside that directory. Finally, restart VSCode and see if the issue persists.
The problem stems from the extension: "Visual Studio Extensions for Windows Library for Javascript." This was updated as part of VS 2013 Update 2.
If you uninstall this extension, the error messages should go away. This must be done from the "Programs and Features" control panel window outside of Visual Studio.
After uninstalling this and restarting Visual Studio, it will say that it is still installed (for me, anyways). However, the errors should go away.
