I have the same issue. There is no Toolbox option anywhere in the interface. I have no prior environment settings to import. I have looked through options and there is a tick box that says Always include toolbox for windows forms. That is the only mention of the word Toolbox anywhere in Visual Studio 2010. It doesn't appear on any menu.

Thomas / lydea -

HAve you gone to View | Toolbox? You can also try CTRL + ALT + X to bring up the Toolbox as well. If you still don't see the Toolbox then there is a deeper issue and you may need to contact support.
