Error immediately on creating new Integration Services project in VS2005

I am creating my first Integration Services project and am getting an
error immediately after creating the project. The error is in the
designer and it displays a red X, saying "Microsoft Visual Studio is
unable to load this document: Object reference not set to an instance
of an object". Clicking on the error in the error window just opens up
the xml file which contains the following:

I have VS2005 SP1, running WindowsXP SP2. Integration Services is
running on my machine, but I would think that this shouldn't matter
anyway as the error is happening before I have even indicated and data
source to use. If I take this xml file with the error and copy it to another new SSIS project on another machine, it works fine. Reinstalling VS2005 had no effect. I am now reinstalling SQL Server 2005 SP2 to see what effect that may have.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
MarcusTry searching, but in the mean time:

Well that was disappointing. After the SQL Server reinstall and adding SP2 there is no change with my problem. >>HEAVY SIGH!<<. I think it is time to call MS...unless any other ideas?!?!?!?
