MS Management Studio will not open stored procs node

Question

When I attempt to expand the stored procedures tab in Management Studio I am getting the following error and no stored procedures are displayed. I've tried re-running all stored procedure scripts (which works without errors) and refreshing the tab, but I still get the following error:

===================================

Could not continue scan with NOLOCK due to data movement. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

Looks like you are still on RTM; have you considered applying SP1 and CU4 to your server and client? Not that that will definitely fix the issue, but it could be a start. Also try recycling the SQL Server service. There seems to be some activity going on that is affecting access to catalog views.
