I've been using Visual Studio .NET for several weeks now. I've finished
some example solutions as well as started others. Now when I open the
environment, very few of them will load properly. Usually, I get no listing
of files in the properties window to the right or anything like that.

Does anyone have any idea what might cause this and how I can fix it?

Were these solutions ASP.NET ones by any chance?
If so, have you added any applications mappings to IIS since you last opened
them?
If you have added a mapping of *.* *.htm or *.html then you will need to
remove
these before you will be able to open the solutions.

This is down to the hand shaking that goes on behind the scenes between VS
and IIS.
