Hi, Mr. Smith :)
Don't know if it will help but you can try:
1) open command prompt
2) go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE (if you
installed on some other location path will be somewhat different)
3) run "devenv.exe /setup"
"Forces Visual Studio to merge the resource metadata that describes
menus, toolbars, and command groups from all VSPackages available."
