I just finished installing the VS 2005 Professional Edition. Just when i fired up the application an error box pops up.

Finally, I identified the problem. It turns out that I have uninstall the Refactor VB 2005 Beta 2 that I installed last time. After I uninstall it, then VS 2005 running smootly.
There is a new version of the refactor VB 2005 http://www.devexpress.com/vbrefactor/
.NET ROCKS!
