Weird things in Vista and VS 2005

I am Using Vista with Visual Studio 2005 and when I open a project, it could
take a full minute or two before the "start debugging" button turns green on
the menu. Also, in the Solution Explorer, the buttons for "View Designer",
"View Code", and "Refresh" don't appear. If I am in the designer, I need to
right click on the form and choose view code to see the code.

On my XP machine, everything works just fine. Has this happened to anybody
else out there? I know VS 2005 and Vista have problems and I am guessing
this is one of them?
Happy Holidays to all out there, and the wife is out shopping for a bit so I
can sit here at the computer.

Have you installed SP-1 for Visual Studio? That's the only thing I can
think of that *might* (no promises) help you.

Yes, I have installed SP-1 for Vista VS 2005. I did that first thing along
with the SQL 2005 Service Pack.

I am running Visual studio 2003 with framework 1.1 on a vista platform. However it runs very slow in debug mode, especially while it is loading dlls. What is the problem? Is there a compatibility problem between XP and Vista? How to speed it up? If I upgrade the Visual studio 2003 to 2005, will it solve the problem?
