tfs31001 : cannot connect to tfs

Question

I installed VS 2012 and connect to TFS but because of the framework 4.5 problems I had to uninstall framework 4.5 installed VS 2010 but now I cannot connect to TFS. I added the server, but gives error when I try to connect to project collection. I uninstalled VS 2012. I cannot delete the local workspace and I think that might cause the problem. I get error:

TF31001: cannot connect to team Foundation Server at SERVERNAME. The server returned the following error: Field not found: 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.IntegrationServiceIdentifiers.SyncService.'

PS: My teammates can connect to the server.

How can I get over this issue? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Did you already tried to go to the TFS through a webbrowser by surfing to it from your machine? And did you installed this piece of software to your visual studio 2010

Answer 2

This may appear like a strange answer but have you tried clearing your Temporary Internet files and cache? I've had a couple of problems over the years with TFS and have found this works for me generally with connectivity issues.
