Visual Studio 2013 Not allowing me to create a new project

Solved visual-studio-2013 disabled-input

My Visual Studio 2013 had started to not let me make new projects (or see already made ones) on my computer.

I have installed it again 2 times, but alas, it did not work. All it did was take up 3 more gigs of space each time.

The "ok" button is disabled The "ok" button in the New Project Window is disabled, and it has been like this for months, and i was forced to use NetBeans!!

EDIT: I cannot click on the exclamation mark on the top left. Just a blank box when i hover over it.

FIX:

I completely uninstalled it, and reinstalled it by downloading it again from Microsoft. It works Now, as i now can click "ok" and make a new project.

See the exclamation point at the top right? Need to have a valid license to create. You're probably past a trial period or having some licensing issue. – Lusaka 14/3, 2015 at 20:43

@BradChristie Nothing pops up when i click it, just a blank box when i hover over it... – Electrophotography 14/3, 2015 at 20:45

Is it the free version, Professional, or Ultimate? – Skidproof 14/3, 2015 at 21:9

@programmersdude its Ultimate. – Electrophotography 14/3, 2015 at 23:4

Maybe there's something wrong with a workspace...have you tried with a different workspace? – Skidproof 15/3, 2015 at 14:42

@Csharper: You should be clicking the caret to the right of "Sign in", not the exclamation mark. Also, take a look at the notes you're getting via the "flags" icon (also on top-right, but in title bar). I'm leaning towards VS shutting you off due to rights because I can't see another circumstance for preventing you from creating but still letting you open. – Lusaka 15/3, 2015 at 17:57

@BradChristie I also clicked the caret. Nothing popped up, Like if it wasn't implemented yet. Also, The flags were just info about updates, nothing special. And i wouldn't know why microsoft would shut me off for rights, if they would shut me off for rights, wouldn't a popup, pop up? – Electrophotography 16/3, 2015 at 1:20

@Csharper: I would assume so. How about Help->About, then click "Product License Information" at top right? – Lusaka 16/3, 2015 at 1:24

I Reinstalled Visual Studio 2013, from scratch. By Uninstalling it (not repairing it) and installing it again, it works now!
