<p>Every time I try to create a new project or solution in visual studio (2005 and 2008), I get an error saying, "Project Creation failed."  I even tried running vs in administrative mode, but I still get the same answer. Anyone have any suggestions, in short of uninstalling all of VS and reinstalling it?</p>

It sounds like an Add-in behaving badly.  Can you launch it in safe mode?
```
```
devenv.exe /SafeMode
```
