me in the right direction.

Does it work if you uninstall VS 2008?

Try the below from:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_h.htm

*Note the space after helpctr.*
Go to Start/Run and type in: helpctr -regserver

If that fails go to the lin provided and scroll down to "Help and
Support". You may want to read through all of the suggestions under "Help
and Support" first before attempting anything, it's somewhat extensive and
some suggestions may require an XP installation disk.
