SSMS 2008 - Error on registered server list

Hi,

I 've just installed SS 2008 Developer Edition in my machine. It is running
side by side with a SS 2005 Developer Edition.

After installed (the setup worked fine without problems) I got the
following error when I tried to connect to a server:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** Exception Text **************

After the error, I can connect to any server without problem but next time I
use the SSMS 2008 I get the same error and I lost my registered server 's
list.


Any idea how to solve this?

Thanks in advance
