I have just installed Visual Studio, and whenever I launch it, the menus and the items in them are duplicated. Another copy of them is made whenever I launch VS. Restarting my computer or VS doesn't fix the problem.

I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, let me know where it should go if this is incorrect.
interesting!
Have you tried to reset the IDE settings, just in case?
start > run > devenv /resetide
This only works on the full version of Visual Studio, not the express editions
Just tried the command, it went through the whole "Starting IDE for first time" business, but still have the duplicate menus. Thanks for the suggestion though. Has anyone seen this before at least? I am running the full version of Visual Studio 2005, but the same thing happened when I had Visual C++ Express installed. In fact, I installed VS2005 to try to fix the problem. Things were normal for a while, but then this happened.
Sigh...
I have just got the same problem.
Being using Visual Studio Professional since its release, started it up today and I have 2 of each menu option (File, Edit etc). Have tried running devenv /resetsettings but still have the duplicate menus.
Not at all impressed with this behaviour
Whats more irritating is that the keyboard commands do not work so I have to use the mouse to do everything.... not the most efficient way to work, is it.?
Please Microsoft.... come up with some solution . Maybe its a simple matter of replacing some registry key ?
Fingers crossed
mqs
Try to delete files in
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\visualstudio\7.1 or 8.0\ and inside 1033. I just got this issue resolved.
Microtan's solution of deleting everyting in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\visualstudio\7.1 or 8.0\ worked, but I've had the problem come back before.
