Hi guys,
I have this strange problem. After I add a new Data Connection from Server Explorer, then I choose .NET OLEDB Provider, I get a dialog with only a Data Source and a property grid displaying only connection string and its property. Why does this happen Can I change it back to the way it was I've reset the setting using Import and Export Settings... from Tools menu, but it doesn't help.
This is how the image look: (I can't display the image, so I give link to the JPG image of my strange dialog)

I have other computers with Windows XP SP2 with VS 2005 (same configuration as mine), and it doesn't show that. It shows many choices of OLEDB provider first and then letting us to choose what OLEDB provider we'll use.
I also have searched MS KB, but I still can't find it.
Please help! 
If I have to reinstall VS 2005, I think it's not a good solution, since I also have tried to reinstall VS 2005 SP1 and I'm still out of luck!

My OLEDB Datalink dialog (after I add connection) is changing to a dialog with only a property grid, why?
DKB
I think I have found the cause, but I haven't found the solution yet. It seems like because of LINQ May 2006 CTP installation. I have tested this, and it's also reproduceable on other machines too! Can somebody tell me if I'm wrong
How can I fix this problem without uninstalling and reinstalling VS 2005 Please help!
