I had Visual Studio 2005 Pro for a while - worked great. Now I've installs VS
2005 Team Services Architect Edition and I can not use any of the control
keys (backspace, del, tab, up, down, ...) when I am editing the code (mouse
and Visual Studio 2003 are working fine). I've looked at the internet and
noticed that other people having the same problem after installing Team
Services VS 2005. I've reinstalled VS 2005 Pro - didn't help.
How I can fix this problem? As you understand it's impossible to use Visual
Studio with all control keys!

Thanks,

I also want to mention that the problem I experience might be connected with
the fact that I have just installed DirectX April 2006 SDK.

Also, in my VS 2005 my keyboard mappings are completely gone and the whole
screen for Options/Environment/Keyboard is empty (including a mapping schema
dropdown) and reset doesn't help

When I am importing VS setting I am getting an error:

Your settings were imported, but there were some errors.

Error 1: An error occurred while importing settings for 'Keyboard'.

I have the same problem. I just noticed it after installing DirectX April
2006 too.

Deleting user dependent Visual Studio files from My Documents and Registry
makes Visual Studio fix itself

I called Microsoft Developer support this morning, and he did the following
to solve this:
1. open Windows Explorer to the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0

where USERNAME is the login of the user who is having trouble.

2. rename or delete the following files:
User.vsk
Default.vsk

3. Open Visual Studio 2005
4. Go to the Tools->Import/Export Settings item.
5. Choose Reset all settings
6. The next tab allows you to save current settings or just overwrite them.
Pick whichever you are comfortable with.
7. Select Visual Basic Development Settings from the list on the next tab.
8. Click Finish.

This was enough to return the functionality of those keys to me.

I would have done what you suggested, but I was unsure which files and keys
to delete. I think the approach recommended by MS tech support was a bit
more "surgical". However, it was a nice double-check that the problem did
turn out to be a user profile specific issue.

Thanks for the info.
