    I've had the same problem recently. I posted a question about it in
    microsoft.public.vsnet.ide under "Docking the toolbar hangs the IDE. VS
    2003".

    One possible theory generated by the posting, (though it sounds strange) is
    that quicktime was somehow interfering with the docking mechanism. Just out
    of curiosity, do you have quicktime installed?

    Luckily, by docking the solution explorer (before trying to dock the window
    that hangs the application) and undocking it solved my problem. I was then
    able to dock my toolbox. I am reluctant to undock my toolbox now.
