GeneralVS 2005: 'Data' menu keeps disappearing! [modified] Pin

Hello, all you smart people.

Short version:
In Visual Studio 2005, the 'Data' menu item at the top of the screen keeps disappearing after I attempt to show the existing data sources, or add a new data source. Any ideas?

Long version:
I'm encountering a rather frustrating issue in Visual Studio 2005, SP1. I am creating a Visual C# ASP.NET Web application, and I want to add a Data Source to the project. Now, when I first create the application, the 'Data' menu is available at the top of the screen, with the two sub-menu items 'Show Data Sources' and 'Add New Data Source'. The respective icons also appear in the Data Design toolbar.

However, when I click the 'Show Data Sources' icon, or the 'Show Data Sources' menu item, the Data menu item disappears, and the Data Design toolbar icons become disabled. No matter what I try, I can't get the Data menu item to re-appear. If I completely shut down VS 2005, then launch it again, the Data menu is back. But the same behavior exists (i.e., it disappears if I try to use it). Similarly, if I click the 'Add New Data Source', I am allowed to go through the process of adding the data source. But when I am done with that process, the Data menu makes a hasty exit, and I can't even view the data source I allegedly created.

Any idea what is happening, here? As far as I know, my installation is fine. This does not appear to be the issue of the 'Data' menu disappearing when the context of programming calls for it to disappear (for example, when editing code).

My Google-Fu has failed me on this issue, so I am calling out the big guns (RE: this forum). Thank you in advance to any and all those who read this, and a special thank you to those who respond.
