after some time using vs2005 the following problem occurs (just look at this linked image).
needless to say that it makes the ide useless...

anybody had similar problems

I have not seen that problem before.

But you can try right-clicking on the toolbar (away from any buttons) and select customize.

On the dialog that appears there should be a "Reset..." button.
You can try using that.

Try resetting VS to it's original state by clicking customize, then reset.

Hope this helps

thank you for your suggestions.

unfortunately the menus are still messed up...

when installing the sp1 it's ok for a couple of days but then suddenly it's like on the screenshot.

it can't be the solution to install the sp1 over and over again

OK,

1. do you have any add-ins installed If so, which ones Add-ins can to all sorts of things to menus. Tho, I haven't seen this sort of thing since my Office 2000 development days.

2. If you can get it back to the original state using the reset, Save your ide settings. To do this: on the Tools menu is a menu called "Import and Export Settings". Export all of the settings to a files. Then if it happens again you can import the settings and reset Visual Studio to how you wanted it. You can also move settings from one machine to another. So if you have another computer with Visual Studio installed and this is not happening, export the settings from that computers Visual Studio and import them on the other computer with visual studio.

Good luck.

I have this exact same problem, i have unistalled , and reinstalled everything thing several times and it always seems to do it. I even edited the windows registry trying to remove all visual studio entries.
I also have windows vista after loading one of the projects it had done it to before, it started doing it on that install as well
by the way
I am using visual C# express 2005 with sp1
with xna studio express refresh


this problem is driving me crazy as i have stayed up all night trying to fix it

I am also seeing the same problem. I did the exact same setup on two different machines, and am only seeing it on one machine. The problem persisted even after a reformat... Very strange, and VERY annoying.
