All the functional keys are broken in the text editor of VS 2005. These
include arrow keys, backspace, delete, et al. Has anyone seen this? I tried
uninstalling VS2005 and reinstalling it but I'm still seeing this symptom.
I do have Office 2007 (current public beta) and .NET Framework 3.0 (July
2006 CTP). I wanted to get into learning Vista development and Office 2007
development both on my XP environment. I know that these beta components are
probably the cause, I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem
before and which beta component should be removed to resolve it, or if it
might be caused by something else.
Of course reformatting the drive and starting over is an option but only as
a last resort; backing up my files is easy (I've a secondary RAID config, a
terabyte total space) but I have a lot of personal prefs set up on this
environment after a year of usage.

Googled on this. Found this:

So,
devenv.exe /resetuserdata
.. and / or ..
devenv.exe /resetsettings
.. should do the trick.
The first option worked for me! (Note: This process took like five minutes.
Weird.)

Thanks. That also solved my own problem posted just after yours (great
timing).
