title: How can I get TFS working again?
body: <p>Today I checked out a new project in TFS (Visual Studio 2010): <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18386858/which-if-any-folders-do-i-need-to-create-before-checking-out-a-tfs-project">Which, if any, folders do I need to create before checking out a TFS project?</a></p>
  
  <p>The .sln file wouldn't save (said it was read-only, and even when changing that in Windows Explorer, it made no difference).</p>
  
  <p>So, I created a new folder, created a new .sln, and then copied all the other files over to that structure.</p>
  
  <p>Now, somehow, TFS has "given up the ghost" On connecting (I do seem to connect, I can see the projects in the Team Explorer pane), when I 2-click the "Source Control" item below a project, I get, "<em>Team Foundation Server is not your current Source Control plug-in. Click here to set the current Source Control plug-in.</em>"</p>
  
  <p>If I do fall for its ploy, I then see, "<em>Error Command "Tools.Options" does not accept arguments or switches.</em>"</p>
  
  <p>What in blue blazes is going on?!?</p>
  
  <p>I reinstalled ("repaired", as that was the only option other than uninstall) MSSCCIProvider, but that did no good - I get the same errors. How can I get TFS back?</p>
  
  <h2>UPDATE</h2>
  
  <p>I <em>am</em> connecting to TFS, because when I open VS and select the "Connect to TFS" (verbiage?) link, it opens the Team Explorer tab, with a visual representation of the TFS server, with the various "areas" below that, and then, for the area I'm currently working on:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Handheld
      &gt; Work Items
      Reports
      &gt; Builds
      Source Control
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...but when I mash "Source Control," it tells me, "TFS is not your current Source Control plug-in. Click here to set the current Source Control plug-in."</p>
  
  <p>But that's a bait-and-switch, because when I do (click there), I get the err msg, "Error&lt; crlf > Command "Tools.Options" does not accept arguments or switches."</p>
