Lost Source Control Output Window in RTM

I've seemed to have lost the source control output window using the RTM version of TFS. It was there at one time but no longer present. After opening my VSTF bound solution, nothing is in the "Show output from:" combo box in the Visual Studio 2005 output window. Can someone help me get back the "Source Control - Team Foundation" item?

Thanks.

Next time something writes to that window, it'll reappear. Simplest thing would be to Force Get a file.

That did not work. Other suggestions?

Looks like you need to do something that writes a warning or error, not just regular output. Quickest ways I can think of:

if you have >1 workspace, checkout a file in 2 workspaces (the 2nd checkout prints a warning)
if not, do a checkout + shelve + unshelve (the unshelve will error out since the file is already checked out)

That worked. Now what is causing it to go away? Several members of my team have the same issue.

I have two workspaces, one is named after my desktop and the other my notebook. Most others have a single workspace.

All output windows (build, debug, etc.) behave the same way. I had a bug on this a few months ago but it didn't make it into Whidbey -- hopefully it will be improved in Orcas.

Easier way to force an error condition: Do a specific version get of a changeset that does not exist.

Yep. That's what I've been doing since Beta 3, where I reported this bug - I was quite disappointed to see it not fixed in the RTM bits.

An interesting twist -

If you install the VSIP SDK (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/extend/) then the Source Control channel of the output window works perfectly every time. Presumably the VSIP plug in that installs the master key is also enabling the output window so TFS's messages now show up.
