Design view is not showing in Visual studio 2008

Question

When I try to edit an ASPX file with the Design View it freezes for a moment and does nothing, not even an error message. Looking through menus I've seen some strange things:

If I go to Tools->Options->HTML Designer it gives me no options on the right panel, just a "Error loading property page" message.
When I try to open a file using "Open With..." there should be something like "Web Form - Editor", but it is missing and I can only open them using Code View.
I've tried repairing Visual Studio and reinstalling WebDesignerCore, but nothing works. Anyone had the same problem?

Solution 3

try this:
Tools > options > international settings, then set the language to English.

or
put the path to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Web Designer Tools\VWD before the path to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11
in Control Panel ->System->Advanced tab -> Environment variables ->System variables: Path
