I can open a .NET 1.1 project fine but when I try and open a page within
that project I'm prompted for a username and password.

Any ideas on why I would be prompted for a username and password when trying
to open a .aspx page?

I get the windows login screen:

Connect to 'Servername'

Connecting to 'Servername'
username

password

Your web.config or the site is probably configured to use Windows
authentication.
 
it is.
its only certain pages that this is happening on.

how can I fix it? My windows ID has the same access as all the other
developers working on the same web project and they aren't prompted for an
username or password when they open the same pages.

Just to be sure, you are using IE ?

Firefox and Opera etc does have some problems with Windows Authentication,
usually they show a login box.
 
also, I'm not sure if this makes a difference or not, but I'm only prompted
for an username and password when I go to the 'design' tab of the web page.
I'm able to view the source, its only the design view I'm prompted. If I hit
cancel over and over again I can finaly see the design view of the page but
a lot of controls are missing for me to view.

Youre prompted for username/password when wieving the page in design view
inside Visual Studio? If thats the case I would look at file permissions.
 
Ok i'll take a look at them.

maybe some of the images (or other resources like javascript or css)
have ntfs security set differently, this can ocure if you moved your
files from somwhere else that the security descriptrors are also
copied, and you IIS requires credentials from you for this other
resources.

try re-setting all ntfs resources for your website
