Populate Web Part Gallery - SPS 2003

[SQLBI]

Hi,

I know that SPS 2003 has many more web parts available than those listed in the default gallery.

To access and make available i need to select Site Settings > Manage security and additional settings > Manage Web Part gallery

This should then display a list of additional web parts available to this particular instance of SPS 2003, however i am given the following message and no available webparts:

[red]Cannot populate the Web Part Gallery. There are no Web Parts registered in the <SafeControls> section of the ASP.NET configuration file (web.config) for this site.[/red]

Does anyone know how to resolve this and register web parts in the <SafeControls>?

Thanks in advance.

I have this same problem and have been through tons of sites on the internet looking for a solution. I added the office webparts which added the safeconrols in the web.config for me. Apparently it is not working because I get the same error as above. Actually, i am unable to look at any of the webparts in the gallery. All say the same thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
