help with VS 2008 new install   

I have both VS 2005 and a brand new version of 2008. I can use VB, C#,
and J#, but CANNOT use C++ at all.

I click File->New->Project. I then select Visual C++m Win32, Win32
Console application, enter a name and click OK. The next dialog box is
the 'Welcome to the Win 32 Application Wizard, and everything freezes.
When I click Finish ... nothing. When I click Cancel ... nothing. The
only thing I can do is close the application.

As I said, this happens with both 2005 and 2008, but only with C++,
not any of the other languages.

Please help, if you can.

Thanks, CC.

Which edition(s) of VS 2005 and VS 2008 are you using?

I decided to do a fresh install last night, so I uninstalled all VS
applications and components and started from scratch. I am using the
following:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.21011.8RTM
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 3.5

Same problem. I can use VB, C# and J#, but I cannot create a C
project no matter what I do.

Thanks for your help, CC.

Again, which EDITION?

Express, Standard, Professional, Team System?

I also have to wonder about your reference to J# in VS 2008. It was 
discontinued after VS 2005 and is not in VS 2008.

Sorry. Professional. I set up J# as an add on. I do some Java and
don't really need an MS environment to to Java.

Thanks, CC.
