Unable to create a new project in VC++05EE

Hi! I have VC++ 2005 EE installed on both my desktop and notebook using the same media. The problem is that when I try to create a new project on the notebook, I get an error about not being able to initialize an ActiveX component. I do not have this problem onthe desktop or in VC# 05 EE on the notebook. I have not yet installed VB 05 EE to try it. This error occurs after I type the project name and clic kto create it.

I have tried plaicing the project in different directories, but it does not work.

Using Win XP Home on the notebook.

Sorry, it's not about ActiveX. It says "Automation server can't create object", and it happens no matter what kind of project I try to create. When I create a CLR project, it happens immediately. WHen I create a Win32 project, it runs the wizard, and when I click finish, I end up with the dialog, but it does create a folder with the IntelliSense database and a .vcproj file, but no .sln, etc. I am, however, able to open a project that was created on my desktop.

My assumption is that it is a problem with the wizard that creates the solutions or a component that is used by it, but I have no idea where to start. I have tried reapairing the install.

It is difficult to help you unless you provide more information about what the error message is and what activex component fails.
