I have just installed a new computer, with all my development tools, including this extension that I already find indispensable. But as soon as there is something to color in the output pane, Visual Studio reports an exception, and after enabling the log it appears that this is related to VSColorOutput. i can confirm that disabling the extensions fixes the problem - Visual Studio stops reporting exceptions. Here is the error stack trace that appears many times over in the log file:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
 at BlueOnionSoftware.RegistryKeyImpl.GetValue(String name)
 at BlueOnionSoftware.Settings.Load()
 at BlueOnionSoftware.OutputClassifier.LoadClassifiers()

 at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Tagging.Implementation.TagAggregator`1.<GetTagsForBuffer>d__16.MoveNext()
I have attached the associated log file, for good measure.
