thanks figo. but i figured out that i had not installed the Testing component when installing VS.Net 2008, so i went to add remove programs from control panel and repaired the current installation and reinstalled the unit test component

You can try to import the default or reset settingsof the menu, by Tools > Import and Export Settings.
(you can also run devenv /ResetSettings to eliminate potential settings problem, but please backup the current settings before reset)
Alsothere areseveral add-ins installed, please try to run devenv /Safemode to isolate the 3rd party add-ins' problem.

thanks.
