'.' hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1.

Hi I recently installed Visual Studio 2012

And I'm trying to do an assignment using MVC however when I create the project as soon as it is created I get the error message:

'.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1.

If I click okay, then I get 9 errors all saying Type 'StyleBundle' or 'ScriptBundle' is not defined and this:

Error10 Reference required to assembly 'DotNetOpenAuth.AspNet, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2780ccd10d57b246' containing the type 'DotNetOpenAuth.AspNet.AuthenticationResult'. Add one to your project.C:\Users\Luke\Desktop\Assignment2\Assignment2\Controllers\AccountController.vb186

Any help would be great
