I'm trying to learn Windows Forms using C++ .NET 2003 for game tools development, but upon going to New -> Project -> Windows Form Application and immediately after I create the project, I get the following error message when trying to display the form designer:

"An error occurred while loading the document. Fix the error, and then try loading the document again. The error message follows:

The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed."

I've searched for it and I can't seem to find a fix/workaround. Does anyone know what I need to do to be able to use the form designer?

I'm using WinXP SP1 with .NET Framework 1.1

Thanks,
Gordon
