Problem with October 2008 Release of TFS Power Tools

Problem with October 2008 Release of TFS Power ToolsHi,<br> <br>I have recently installed the October 2008 release of the TFS Powertools and and am receiving the following error message when I start Visual Studio 2008 SP1:<br><br> <p>---------------------------<br>Microsoft Visual Studio<br>---------------------------<br>Team Foundation Error</p> <p>Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {B69003B3-C55E-4B48-836C-BC5946FC3B28} from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error: 8007000e.<br>---------------------------<br>OK <br>---------------------------<br><br><br>After some investigation I have found that if I disable the new "Team Members" function then this error does not appear. Also if I shut down Windows Live Messenger prior to starting visual studio I do not receiver this error. However if I have Windows Live Messenger started ( either with an account signed in or not signed it ) I receive the error message if the "Team Members" feature is enabled.<br><br>Any ideas what may be causing this problem?<br><br>Thanks<br>Daniel</p><hr size="1" align="left" width="25%">Daniel© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

When you work with a few projects it is a bit unnecessary.

I can now bring up the Personal Settings dialog box again. However I'm still stuck with this COM error since it of course defaulted back to Live Messenger as my IM provider and now I'm afraid to change anything to do with the IM setting again.<br><br>I saw Brian's blog post today about running VS under elevated permissions vs. Messenger. Both msnmsgr.exe and VS are both running as my user account. I haven't done anything to explicitly elevate permissions of anything on my machine.
