clicking on a DataGridView's DataSource property throws exception in designer

If I have a DataGridView in my form, when I click on the DataSource
property, I get a message box displaying the exception message, "Object
reference not set to instance of an object."

What's even more amusing is if I try to set the property using the little
box that pops up immediately after I add a DataGridView to my form, the IDE
crashes.

Uh... is there a fix for this?

P.S. No I'm not using the Beta or ever had it installed...

What version are you using? Any Add-ins powerpacks installed? Have you
made any changes to the DataGridView? Does the error occur in all
projects or just this one? Does it occur with every DataGridView or
just this one?

Thanks,

Seth Rowe

2005, none, no, yes, yes.

Looks like this is just my machine, I'm just going to re-install.

Thanks,

Also they have released a service pack, but it's only in beta form
right now. Maybe that will help - I don't remember the URL but a few
searches on this ng or the microsoft / msdn sights should turn up the
download.

Thanks,
