Visual Studio 2003 - Corruption in project - Not displaying project properties - visual-studio-2003

I am using Visual Studio 2003 and I having a strange problem. I have a solution file in which several projects are added. However, due to some corruption, i cannot see the properties of one project. It gives a message box saying "unspecified error" when i try to check the properties of that project. The delete option of the project is also disabled. Can anyone knows what exactly went wrong ? Any help will be highly appreciated.

Strange issue with System.Web.Mvc losing its reference when checking out of TFS

I'm working with another developer on a project and everything has been working great until today. Now when I check out the solution to my Visual studio 2013, my reference to System.Web.Mvc is lost and I have to manually re-add it.
When I check in and she checks out, the same issue occurs for her. The path to the assembly is the same on both of our machines:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC
4\Assemblies\System.Web.Mvc.dll
but for whatever reason, we're not in sync. As I said above, it was working great until today so something must've changed...but I have no idea what???
Any suggestions/ideas of what to look for to resolve this?
TIA
This issue occurred due to a Security update that incremented the version of MVC. So if you had References in your project pointing to the hard drive where the 2.0/ 3.0/ 4.0 version was. Your project was needing that particular version. Another way to solve this is to use Nuget to update references.
This is a post from Microsoft regarding the issue:

Cannot create asp.net mvc view using visual studio 2010, please help

I am mvc 2 newbie. got this weird error message, couldn't figure out how to fix it.
I am using visual studio 2010 and my project is asp.net mvc 2 using .net 4.0
I right clicked inside the action method to generate the view. It kept giving me error message. I dont have that problem before, only happened in this project.
If it happens on everything, try reinstalling Visual Studio.
If it's a problem only with MVC Framework, try dwonloading it from here http://www.asp.net/mvc and install again. FileNotFoundException in the VS directory indicates that probably some required files are missing.
I assume Tut.Domain is something you have built? If so, you either are not building it, or it is not located in the correct location for the application to pick up. If you read the end of the error message, prior to stack trace, it mentions Tut.Domain, which is where your troubleshooting should begin.

Why Visual Studio Team System 2008 try to check out all solution's projects while debugging?

We develop using VS2008 solution that have about 26 project that's added to Team System Source control.
The problem is: sometime when developer try to debug a project, VS check out all projects before debugging, we don't know Why this happen especially if we close all vs and try again the problem not appear ... Is any know how to solve this issue ?
That's how it is. I hate it too. The best you could do is configure Visual Studio to ask every time before it checks out a file so that the developer is being warned of what is happening behind the scenes:

TFS Custom Build Process Template Errors - Cannot view designer

I'm getting a bunch of errors about missing references. Anyone know why?
Viewing the default template does the same thing. Reloading the designer does not work. I have TFS Power Tools installed as well.
Never mind. You need the full version of VS2010 installed. Not just the Team Explorer.

ASP.NET MVC CTP5 Crashing IDE

I've recently installed the MVC CTP5 and VS is now crashing on me when I try to open an aspx, I get the following error in event viewer:
.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A035E00) (80131506)
I was able to find This post on the asp.net forums relating to the same issue but nobody has had a working solution yet (at least not for me).
Just wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and what they have done to resolve it?
EDIT: Wanted to add that I have tried all the tips in the article and can open the markup with a code editor but was wondering an actual solution had been found to resolve this issue.. Thanks!
EDIT: I don't have this issue on my Vista box, seems to only occur on my XP VM.
I had a problem with Power Commands and Preview 5. If you have Power Commands installed, try updating or uninstalling it to fix the issue.
Here are a steps to work around from the post that work for me:
1.Open project based on CTP5
2.IN solution Explorer, enable "Show All files"
3.Open "bin" folder and delete "Microsoft.Web.Mvc.dll", "System.Web.Mvc.dll", "System.Web.Abstractions.dll", "System.Web.Routing.dll"
4.Open "References" folder, click ONCE "System.Web.Abstractions" and in Properties window change "Copy Local" to true. Repeat same with System.Web.Routing.
5.Build application (Ctrl+Shift+B)
6.Open site.master in designer. VS will not crash.
FYI - Microsoft has released a hotfix that fixes [at least some variations of] this problem:

A bit of a null answer but I’ve been having this too. Not that I restart VS often but cleaning out the bin folder before opening the web project is my workaround.
Have same problem, on vista x64 and vs2008 sp1. Have to do probably something with cleaning bin folder and system.web.routing/abstraction, because it crashes even on webforms project with (mvc) routing in it. When I delete all files from bin, and add references again, it works fine.
Really annoying bug in vs2008+ctp5!
