I have encountered an issue that whenever I try to open an xml based file; *.xml, web.config, app.config, etc I get the error "Value does not fall within expected range". This happens with all files regardless of project or solution. I have reinstalled visual studio and still get the same error. Additionally I have tried starting a new solution and new project and have the error. I have added new xml files as well and also get the error.

I had the same problem: I deleted the hidden solution .suo and project .user files and I can now open the files.
