Visual studio 2010 Errors out on starting “-832” is not a valid value for property “width”

Question

My Visual Studio 2010 was working fine this morning (I run in in XP sP3 under Paralles) I restarted the entire laptop and I started getting this error. I even uninstalled VS

Answer 1

regedit fixed the problem...searched for the invalid width number under the microsoft key...(found key=MainWindow). Edited the value and removed the 'negative' character.
