Dandax : For the first issue that you mentioned can you goto the VS Install Path/Common7/IDE/ItemTemplates/CSharp/VB/Code and Verify the Class. Zip file is present? In any case, if you think you encounter these issues consistently, then I would suggest you adding a bug to http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio where you will get the right help.
Microsoft has published a Knowledge Base (KB) support article on the most common causes of this failure as well as solutions.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
