"Add existing item" doesn't work on VS 2003 ASP.NET Web Application

[salickc]

Hello,

I created a new ASP.NET Web Application project, and every time i try
to "Add existing item" to the project, the file dialog selection never
comes up, and the application hangs, and then i have to kill the
devenv.exe process.

Why is this happening?

Is this a new install, or a situation where Visual Studio .NET 2003 used to
work correctly and now does not do so? If the former, I'd suspect that the
installation is flawed and suggest that you do a repair. If the latter, are
you sure your system is free of virii, trojans, malware? What have you
added/changed since it last worked correctly?
