Unknown Error "-1"

I am currently trying to create a new project using visual basic 2005 express edition. Whenever I try to create a new project I get the following error message..
 
Unknown Error "-1"

Has anyone seen this before

I have tried to reinstall a couple times but I still get the same error.

I am running Win XP Pro. with SP2 and have installed all of the latest updates.


Thx

    I believe you need to look at Visual Studio Pro.

    I don't think VB Express has the ability to do a Window Service with out the use of a lot of hard coding.

    As a student you should be able to get a good price on a copy of the Pro addition in either version 2003 or 2005.

    You can get a copy of VS 2005 Pro from Microsoft by way of a 90 day free trial. It might take 2 week or more to get it.< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

     

     

    What happens when you try to load one of the installed Starter Kits
    Do you ever get into the programming window

    Try > Shut down all virus pro's.

    I have seen problem’s coming from ZIP programs grabbing some of the smaller install files by way of their "extension" > like (.bin) etc.

    Try uploading a sample program by way of the main project file. Not from inside the IDE of VB > "My Doc's \ sample.

    Try running the setup file in the main download file and use the "Repair" function, select "Download form the Internet".

    Standard download area for this is>
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition - ENU

    The file is the horizontal figure 8.

    I have encountered a similar problem. This occurs for VB, C# as well as Visual Web Developer express editions. I have not been able to find solutions to this in google either. I have not found too much help from the forums. I ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling fresh and every possible method but in vain. Would anyone be able to help me on this.
