Tool Tab gone Hay Wire

[Burrows]

HI all turned on VS2005 this morning and had a shock. My Tool Bar has
gone hay wire The General tab has renamed itself #13119 and my Report
Item Tab has replaced all the reporting controls with text boxes when I
chose for a reset all it does is add another text box in the tab. So I
reinstalled/repaired VS2005 and the problem has not been fixed does any
one know what i have done to mess my system up and more importantly how
to rectify the problem.

Many thanks

I don't know exactly what fixes it, but I had the same problem just before I
installed VS2005 SP1.
The SP1 install must've done some resetting/reinstalling of the toolbars at
some point.

I had a similar problem -- VS Removed all the non VS controls and refused
to register them. No amount or re-installing helped. What you need to do
after closing visual studio is as follows

*DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK*

1) Navigate to this folder:

{Your system drive}:\Documen ts and Settings\{Your User Name Here}\Local
Settings\Applic ation Data\Microsoft\ VisualStudio\8. 0Exp

2) BACKUP THE CONTENTS OF THIS FOLDER

3) BACKUP THE CONTENTS OF THIS FOLDER

4) Delete the *.tbd files

5) Restart Visual Studio

If anything barfs you can just restore the backup

Thanks been playing about un-installing reinstalling VS2005 for the
past day now

the tool bar now seems to work but I still get the following in the
output window upon loading

The ReportDesignerP ackage ({11B8C903-8FFD-4DFC-87CE-F6A82D77AF6B}) did
not load because of previous errors. For assistance, contact the
package vendor. To attempt to load this package again, type 'devenv
/resetskippkgs' at the command prompt.

The DataWarehouse VSIntegration layer
