SMSS 2008: "Cannot create an editor"

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hello,

I am (attempting to use) SMSS, but when I try to look at any table, I get
the error "Cannot create an editor". I can look at the same tables without
an issue in VS2008.

Below is the stack trace about the issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
WtS
