Package 'Visual Studio Common IDE Package' Failed to load

I recently installed VS 2005 Proffesional and the MSDN Library. Everything was working fine till i Searched for something in the MSDN Library and i got the error: Package 'Visual Studio Common IDE Package' Failed to load in a MsgBox and i could not search MSDN for any help. Otherwise i can still use the Index and the Contents of the Library.

I tried uninstalling & re-installing VS 2005 and MSDN Library and also the Document Explorer but to no avail.. I still get the same error and also this new error: Operation could not be compeleted. No such Interface Supported in a MsgBox!

Please help me about what to do with this.. I read a few earlier threads that had similar problems discussed, but they didnt solve my problem.

Thanking You

Sreenath

    Run the following command and hit "y" when prompted.

    Any way to avoid a repeat show
