Failure to create a Report Project within Visual Studio 2003

I'm having a problem creating a Report Project within Visual Studio. I have
VS.NET 2003 installed and I had then installed Sql Reporting Services with
the latest service pack. If I try and then create a reporting project within
a pre-existing solution, it gives me the following error.
Class already exists.
I looked at the knowledge base and it seems that this behaviour is caused by
a mis-behaving add-in. Subsequently, I disabled all of my add-ins within the
add-in manager and tested again. The problem still exists.
Any other ideas on what I should try?
Thanks,

Darren,
If you try to create a new project from the File menu (choose the
Wizard option for speed) does that create a working report or not?

Just tried creating a new report project from the file menu and I still get
the same "Class already exists" message. If I look in my local directory
where I'm trying to create the new project, a folder is created there with a
virtually empty .rptproj file with the following contents.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Project xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="">http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema">
<DataSources />
<Reports />
</Project>
I can't however, see the project in the solution explorer and it doesn't
seem to be added to the solution file. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Darren.

This isn't something I have seen before so the following questions are
simply trying to identify more clearly your specific
setup/circumstances.
Can you describe your setup in more detail? Which add-ins do you have?
When did you disable them?
Have you ever (I assume not, but want to be clear) created an RS
report successfully on that machine?
Apart from RS is Visual Studio working normally?
