You are a developer and rushed to upgrade to Vista without going through the
newsgroups looking for issues on VS 2005 before upgrading? I have a machine
that has Vista on it (a test machine) but my work machine has XP and VS 2005
because I know it works. Yes, I have applied the patch to VS, but VS
doesn't behave properly so I can't rely on it for my day to day work.

If you had looked at the microsoft.public.dotnet.general or languages.vb
forums, you would see the postings regarding Vista and VS 2005. Keep your
Vista disk until they release SP1 and do a clean install of XP so you can
get back to work. There are too many issues to stay with Vista right now.
