Visual Studio 2005 on Vista 5308 - ASP.NET DEVELOPMENT SERVER

> Hi everyone,
>
> I've installed vs2005 and am trying to run a brand new asp.net web site
> using the web server that comes with vs2005 (not IIS). Immediately, after I
> create the site (before I even run it!), I get the following error message:
>
> Error 1 C:\Users\<myaccount>\Documents\Visual Studio
> 2005\WebSites\WebSite3\Default.aspx: ASP.NET runtime error: An error occurred
> loading a configuration file C:\Users\<myaccount>\Documents\Visual Studio
> 2005\WebSites\WebSite3\Default.aspx 1 1 C:\...\WebSite3\
>
> Also, if I choose to bypass the error and run the site, I get the following
> error:
>
> Server Error in '/WebSite3' Application.
