ASP.NET Configuration page

when I try to access the ASP.NET Configuration page from Visual Studio 2008, I fail . I get an error :

"An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again.".

This is the message I get after clicking on Help : "Tool Has Timed Out . As a security measure, the Web Site Administration Tool times out after a period of inactivity. Changes to machine.config or web.config may also result in the tool needing to be restarted. To continue configuring your web site, restart the tool."

how can I solve this ?

+1  A: 

It's likely the is an error in your web.config file - try making sure the xml is valid, all tags are closed that sort of thing.

I looked and it seems to be OK.

Do you get any more details in the error, something starting with a line saying 'The following message may help in diagnosing the problem:'?

A: 

You might want to check the Event log for possibly more information on the actual underlying error
