Try this:
Find the mdm.exe on your machine (somewhere under Common Files).
In that same directory you should see a zero-length file whose name starts
with mdm (but whose exact name I have forgotten).
Move that file somewhere else (eg to Temp)
Reboot the machine.
Assuming this fixed it, delete the file you moved to Temp.
Sometimes an Office Developer install can hork a VS2003 in this way.
