I am having a problem that when I click on the Toolbox, all the items are grayed out. This is happening in VB 2005 Express, Visual C++ 2005 Express, and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. Apps are installed on a Windows XP SP2 machine. This problem appears to be a machine problem. I have renamed all profile folders in the registry and re started the app to no effect. I have deleted all the hidden toolbox* files in all locations on the PC to no effect. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no effect. Does anyone know what it is that I need to do to make the Toolbox items available? As always any help would be greatly appreciated.
