Hi Jamey, I'll try to be a little more specific.
After removing and then reinstalling VB.net 2008 I get the following error when I try to run the IDE
"The automatically saved settings file 'C:\Documents and Settings\User_Name\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\VB Express\CurrentSettings.vssettings' cannot be found. You can change this file on the 'Import and Export Settings' Tools Options Page. The IDE will use your most recent settings for this session."
When I go to "Tools => Options
I Get the following error:
"An error occurred loading this property page"
when I try to view the following options:
Database Tools => O/R Designer
Windows Forms Designer => General
=> Data UI Customization

As I mentioned in my original post, when I start a new project (or even load a sample project I downloaded from the internet) I can see the form in the forms view but I can not edit any of its properties. Also I can see all the tools in the toolbox but I can not access them or select them as they are all grayed out (faded in colour).

I hope this helps in solving my problems.

Thanks again
Richard
