ASP.NET Configuration page

Question

when I try to access the ASP.NET Configuration page from Visual Studio 2008, I fail . I get an error :

"An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again.".

This is the message I get after clicking on Help : "Tool Has Timed Out . As a security measure, the Web Site Administration Tool times out after a period of inactivity. Changes to machine.config or web.config may also result in the tool needing to be restarted. To continue configuring your web site, restart the tool."

how can I solve this ?

Answer 1

Set the default browser within Visual Studio to internal browser, and attempt to re-launch the tool. This worked for me.
