Do you have the FrontPage Server Extensions installed with your IIS? If not
you must have them installed as VS uses the FP Server Extensions to
communitate with the web server. You can add them using the Control panel |
Add/Remove Programs | Add/Remove Windows Components. It will be a sub-item
under IIS so you'll have to check the IIS details to get it. It's also best
to go to windowsupdate to ensure that there haven't been any updates to IIS
that were over-written by some part of the FP server extensions.

i do have FrontPage Exensions (i'll double check again) as this used to
work, could it be, it's becouse i installed a bluetooth device adapter
? (i removed the driver but i still get the problem).
