Can't acces Html helper classes in intellisense on MVC4 newly added page

Hmm, so I am no MVC expert and I can't seem to find a difference here so I am stuck asking.

I added page to my MVC4 app (in VS11) called test (test.cshtml) and it works but I can't seem to get access to the Html classes in intellisense. If I type, for example @Html.BeginForm() it shows in Red underline like an error and when I type @Html. there is no intellisense. I can see it in the other pages (about.cshtml for example) - they use @html.Whatever() but I can't figure out how to tell my new page I want to use those classes? I am missing something.

I found this Html Helper Not Working on nested Site Master page but that really isn't the same - this is MVC4 with Razor so I don't think you even have a code behind page?

I don't know - I hope I don't sound dumb, like I said. I am not really and MVC guy.

There is an issue with ASP.NET MVC 4 and Areas in Visual Studio 2012 (though perhaps just with QU1). Open the Web.config file located in the Areas directory, and replace instances of __Version__.0.0 with 2.0.0.0 for System.Web.WebPages.Razor, and 4.0.0.0 for System.Web.Mvc.
