Need Help! VB.Net Error message on start up "XML Parsing Error"

I just installed VB.Net 2003 I get this error message on start up:

 

file://C:\program files \Microsoft Visual Studio.Net 2003\Common7\IDE\html\xmlinks\1033\context.xml(0,0):XML error C00E508: An invalid Charachter was found in content.

Where'd you get your copy of .NET? Is it the Professional edition?

 

I have .NET 2002, but mine contains:
