I have installed Visual Studio 2013. When I try launching my ASP.NET website using vs2013 environment I get a whole bunch of following error for the front-end resources:

"Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)"

The website launches just fine when using vs 2012. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?
