Unspecified Error in Sql Server Management Studio

3

I just started getting an error window with "Unspecified Error" in MS Sql Server Management Studio 2005. I get this when trying to Create a New Table in a DB or Right Click > Design on an existing table. I am able to open up a new connection and query the DB without any problems. The error message obviously is no help. Any thoughts on what is the cause and how to fix this?

Did you install any plug-ins? In my experience, that can break Management Studio quite effectively. – None – 2010-01-26T12:34:59.700

No Plugins. The only thing that I have installed recently is an upgrade for Windows Live Messenger and Writer. – Yaakov Ellis – 2010-01-26T12:45:11.843

I realize this answer is a little late in coming, but I just ran into this same issue.

Strangely enough, the error seems to go away if I use SQL Server Authentication rather than Windows Authentication. If you don't have that as an option or that doesn't work for you, I suppose you'll need to resort to old fashioned SQL statements.
