Add-in of Git in Visual Studio 2005 using Git Extensions

I am new to Git and just installed Git Extensions (Windows Vista). The Git stuff does show up in Visual Studio (I can see Git toolbar commands), but doesn't appear to 开发者_如何学Godo anything.

The Plug In does appear to work in Windows Explorer - when right clicking a file in explorer I have a bar with Git Extensions. Choosing "Settings" does show an array of green bars in the Checklist tab.

I did a remove and new install of Git Extensions- not sure if this could have caused the problem.

Any pointers? What can I do to better diagnose the problem?

Any help much appreciated.

Make sure there is a file open in Visual Studio. The buttons are only enabled when a file is open. I also read about a problem somewhere that the plugin didn't work because Visual Studio was installed on the D drive. Is either visual studio or your user folder located on a drive other then the C drive?
