>>Sudden my VS 2005 is refusing to create a new project (any type). When I select New Project (web or otherwise), the hourglass appears, and the IDE goes into a Not Responding state. Even after several minutes, it never recovers. To the best of my knowledge, nothing has changed on the machine sense the last time I used VS. has anyone seen this before, and is there a cure?

Ok, tried that, with no prevail.

As soon as I can get my hands on the company's VS 2005 installation, I am going to run the repair. If that doesn't, then perhaps a reinstall.

I have no add-in or anything else installed, so reinstalling is time consuming.
