Just yesterday i talked to two people who had a similar problem

get yourself a version switcher
http://www.denisbauer.com/NETTools/ASPNETVersionSwitcher.aspx

and check to see which version its currently bound to.
if its not bound to 1.1 then switch it to 1.1 and then try debugging.

if its still gives you bother problems then
Project >> Configuration Mananger - Debug version
Web.config - Debug = true
and you should be a member of Administrators and Debuggers
