Microsoft SQL Sever management Studio: Failed to open connection dialog

Does anyone encount the following problem before? When I tried to connect to Microsoft SQL server 2005 with MS SQL Server Management Studio, I received: "Failed to open connection dialog" message with additional information is "Package 'Mircrosoft SQL Server Object Explorer' failed to load.

This's just happened recently. Although I am receiving that message, I still able access into database with different types of connection.

Can someone shred some light?

Thanks

Tommy.

Have you attempted to connect the server using another client's machine.|||

This looks like some of your .NET components have corrupted. Reinstalling the same should help.

Thanks,

The most likely cause of this is if a file has been deleted or corrupted. Does repairing the SQL Server management tools fix the problem?

Repairing SQL Server is a command-line operation. You can repair by inserting the installation media into the disk drive and typing the following:

start /wait <CD or DVD Drive>\setup.exe /qb REINSTALL=SQL_Tools90 REINSTALLMODE=OMUS

You can find more information on installing SQL Server from the command line here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx

Good morning ( or afternoon for me )

Goo and helpful answer whether you have the cd disk but if you have downloaded from Microsoft (for example Express Edition or School version ), i think i must contact Microsoft to have the agreement to downloa and validate again

Have a nice day
