thanks a lot......... I have Windows XP Home...... I came to know that HOME doesn't support some fetures of .NET.... what all r they??

Most of them would be related to ASP.NET.

According to MSDN

Visual Studio .NET 2003 does not support creating ASP.NET Web applications or ASP.NET XML Web services when using Windows XP Home Edition.
