I have installed the mobile SDK 3 times already and have been able to correct some of the problems of the installation reading several posts, but I am unable to find a solution to this problem.
In VS2005, I am able to create a new Mobile project, but the designer is not coming up with the Mobile device to drop the controls on. It has a grey screen with mainMenu1 in it and no device. I have created a project of all 5 device types, but still no Device in the designer window.
Any help will be appreciated.

I suspect there is something wrong with your installation as you have probably figured out already. Since unistalling the SDK does not help, I would suggest you attempt to uninstall VS2005 and reinstall.
HTH.
