When opening a table I receive unexpected error MS Visual database

When I try to open a table in Management Studio I receive this message:
"unexpected error MS Visual database tools".

I reinstalled all the SQL server 2005 package, but it reappears.
I have been looking in the web but I found nothing. It seems that somebody
with the same error managed to get rid of it updating a graphic diver... (but
in my conf I dont need to update anything, at least it is what I can see...)

Anybody able to give me advice?
Thnk you very much in advance. I don't see what I can do after the SQL
re-installation.

Env: XP SP3, Sql express 2005, Management Studio

Hi

Do you get an error number? Is there anything in the Windows Event log? Have
you connected to the database from a different machine and not got the error
message? Is this SSMS or SSMS Express?
