  was just wandering how you found that solution out. i was about to call microsoft and see if they could figure it out cause there is nothing in the knowledge base about it. i finally found your solution because i selected internet when doing the search in the support section. anyways it fixed my problem. thanks for the info. maybe microsoft should look into fixing this problem as i am sure lots of people (70% or more or the windows population) have either a space or some other char in their windows username.

  When I am at the New Project window where you can select from Windows Application, Class Library, Console application, all it asks me for is a name.  When I click OK on this screen, that is when the error pops up.  I've tried using the default name as well as making up one, and also tried different types of projects, but it makes no difference.
  
  Should I just uninstall and try again

  Hi Charlie,
  
  I assume you got to the New Project dialog since you could change the Project Type. What are you using for these fields on the New Project dialog
     Name
     Location
     Solution Name
  
  Best regards,

  Hello
  
  Ive tried all the suggestions here so far (save new project...., and removing spaces/irregular characters, ect) however the same error message still appears on mine when i create a new project. This may have something to do with running windows vista, can sombody please help

  Hi,
  
  Can you try this first
  
  If you cannot figure out what the above temporary path is on your machine, you can do this:
  - Use menu Tools | Options
  - Select "Project and Solutions" on the tree view.
  - Check "Save new projecst when created" on the panel.
  After this, when you try to create a new project, the dialog should let you specify the full path. Use a valid path in this case.
  
  Best regards,

  My user name was a problem - I have changed this to something simple.

  I followed the above advice - checking the "Save new project ... " box

  I can now specify a path that exists but I then get the mesage that a project with this name already exists - regardless of what name I give it. A new directory is created with the chosen name but I don't move on to another screen.

  Thanks for all your advice everybody!

  I had the exact same problem. It is corrected by making sure the username you are logged in with has no spaces or special characters
  
  ex. Mom and Dad
       Mom & Dad
  
  Neither of those work. If needed, create a separate user account following those guidlines. it will work great then.

  Hi,
  
  I don't think you need to uninstall.
  
  Visual Basic Express by default creates your project in a temporary location and discards that project if you don't want to save it. On my machine (English Windows XP), that location is
  
      C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects
  
  My guess is this path on your machine is somehow invalid. Would you please check what the equivalence path for this is
  
  If you cannot figure out what the above temporary path is on your machine, you can do this:
  - Use menu Tools | Options
  - Select "Project and Solutions" on the tree view.
  - Check "Save new projecst when created" on the panel.
  After this, when you try to create a new project, the dialog should let you specify the full path. Use a valid path in this case.
  
  Hope this helps,
  Best regards,
