cannot create new project in vs.net 2003

[jworld]

Recently, I began having these problems using vs.net 2003. When I create a new project (no matter it's vb/c# or win/web), no solution/project is created. Solution explorer is empty.

I also try opening an existing project, it opens. But, I cannot add new form/item into the project.

I've reinstalled vs.net and run aspnet_iis.exe. No help.

I run filemon when creating new project. Somewhere along the filemon log, I found:
Process: devenv.exe
Request Query Information
Path: C:\program Files\Microsoft VIsual Studio .Net 2003\Common7\IDE\http:\127.0.0.1\WebApplication100\WebApplication100.dsw
Result: Name Invalid

The same error repeats for *.etp, *.csproj, *.vbp, *.vbproj, *.vbdproj, *.actproj, *.act, etc.

Does anyone what could went wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks.

It looks like a registry key entry is invalid providing VS with a wrong location to the file that is needed to make new projects, etc. But not being an expert on the internal workings of VS itself I cannot be sure nor offer a solution.
