same with me i am not able to open default.aspx or any usercontrol on design mode when i do that the ide shows the code mode but it locks the up and down scroll and arrow key not sure if i am making any sense ...
When you attempt to swith to DV and yet still see the code, it means the component that is rerponsible for the design surface failed to instantiate. Are you using VS or VWD? I have seen this happening when someone only installed C++ and wanted to edit HTML
in Design view. Did you try to reinstall VS? Maybe vswebdesign.dll and vswebdesigned.dll somehow got corrupted.
1. Look in Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common\Packages.
2. Verify that vswebdesign.dll, vswebdesigned.dll and tridsn.dll are there.
3. Look into 1033 subfolder (if we are talking English version).
4. Verify vswebdesignui.dll and tridsnui.dll are present.
5. Right click on every of the 5 files above, choose properties and see if version listed is the same. Write down versions, time stamps and file sizes.
6. Try opening command window, navigating to the folder in step 1 and running regsvr32 on tridsn.dll and vswebdesign.dll
When i went to do regsvr32 for files in step 2 the first 2 files were a success but for the third one it said "loadLibrary("file name") - module not found
for the 2 files under 1033 both failed to register saying do not have entry point or might have corrupt version try using pView to remove the files.
Files in 1033 won't register, that's fine, they don't contain any code, just UI resources. If tridsn.dll fails to register, it is a bad sign. Is the dll present? On my machine tridsn.dll is 387584 bytes in size, date 9/23/2005. If dll is present, but regsvr32
fails, it means one of the components needed for the tridsn.dll to load is missing. You can download depends.exe
http://www.dependencywalker.com/
and run depends.exe tridsn.dll. GUI interface should show you in red which dlls are missing.
I've got the same problem, but it's not specific to default.aspx of course. Any page switched to Design View shows as blank. And attempting to drop a control on it gives a circle w/line through.
I can drop a control in Source View, but when switched to Design View it isn't visible.
I've completely removed it, and all the 2005 products and the 2.0 framework, cleaned the registry automatically and by hand. After reinstalling I have the same problem.

Cannot View default.aspx in Design Mode

I can only view source. I cannot view the design mode. I am running Windows 2000. Any ideas?

Let's try the following.
1. Look in Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common\Packages.
2. Verify that vswebdesign.dll, vswebdesigned.dll and tridsn.dll are there.
3. Look into 1033 subfolder (if we are talking English version).
4. Verify vswebdesignui.dll and tridsnui.dll are present.
5. Right click on every of the 5 files above, choose properties and see if version listed is the same. Write down versions, time stamps and file sizes.
6. Try opening command window, navigating to the folder in step 1 and running regsvr32 on tridsn.dll and vswebdesign.dll
Let me know what happens.

I verified the versions they are all the same.

for the 2 files under 1033 both failed to register saying do not have entry point or might have corrupt version try using pView to remove the files.

I suspect the issue might be with modules in bold. You can ignore errors about msjava.dll and mpr.dll.
