When I try to view a web page I just created in the IDE I get the following
error.

"The file failed to load in the Web Form designer. Please correct the
following error, then load it again: Illegal characters in path."

I went to a different machine and checked the exact same creation and
everything worked fine. The path information was exactly the same.

Any idea's why I can't create web forms using the designer?

Hello.

This problem can be caused if the Reference Path in the Project Properties
--> Common Properities Dialog window is modified to reference a different
Net Framework that that that came with the Visual Studio .Net IDE that you
are working with currently.

Visual Studio .Net 2002 = Microsoft .Net Framework v1.0.3705
Visual Studio .Net 2003 = Microsoft .Net Framework v1.1.4322
Visual Studio .Net 2005 Beta = Microsoft .Net Framework v2.0 Beta

You will need to modify the Reference Path to reference the correct .Net
Framework.
