Sadly, it still crashes... Strangely, it loads fine on my desktop in the office but not on my laptop. Both are VS2005 with the latest SP...

I'm reinstalling the sp just to rule that out...

1. From the Visual Studio menu, select Tools | Add-In Manager.

2. Find the entries for VS "Class Designer Enhancements" and "Modeling Design Tool Enhancements". Uncheck the Startup check boxes, which tells VS not to load these at startup. Also uncheck the check box to the far left of these two items

3. Save your settings and exit Visual Studio

4. Restart Visual Studio and open your project

5. Select Tools | Add-In Manager again and now select the check box to the left of these two items

6. Open up your class diagram and your PowerToys should work
