Expression Blend

Anyone have any ideas as to why Expression Blend won't let me create a 'New Project'?

I need to create a assignment but it won't allow me to click new exe or Silverlight project. The 'create' button isn't clickable. I have Silverlight installed.

Any help would be appreciated!

When I try to create a new project, it also prompts, saying 'you cannot begin your project name with /''@% such and such', if that helps?

Does this need Visual Studio or any other plugins/applications or so to operate?

I take it that you have tried a reinstall?

To use Expression Blend 4, you need:

* Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 3,Windows Vista™, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 operating system
* PC with 1 GHz or faster processor

* 2 GB or more of available hard-disk space
* .NET Framework 4.0
* Silverlight 4.0
* Support for Microsoft DirectX® 9.0 graphics with Windows Vista Display Driver Model (WDDM) Driver, 128 MB of graphics RAM or more, Pixel Shader 3.0 in hardware, 32-bits per pixel
* DVD compatible drive
* 1024 x 768 or higher resolution monitor with 24-bit color
* Internet functionality requires Internet access (additional fees may apply)
* Actual requirements and product functionality may vary based on your system configuration and operating system.

It's actually expression blend 2 which I'm trying to run. I may have to downgrade my Silverlight to version 2. I don't believe I have .NET framework, either.
