Hi Paul.

Sorry to hear about your continued troubles debugging applications under
Visual Studio .NET. Unfortunately, I do not think that I am in any
position to help you troubleshoot your debugger, but you did also preface
this thread with concerns that the problem may have been introduced by .NET
Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 and that you were unable to rollback to the
non-SP1 version. This is the area where I may be able to help. My
previous post assumed that you were not running on Windows Server 2003.
Now that I know that you are, in fact, running on Windows Server 2003, I
may be able to offer a bit more appropriate suggestions.

First off, you can uninstall .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 from Add/Remove
Programs on Windows Server 2003. If I were a support engineer and you told
me that your problems started after installing SP1, that would be the first
thing I would try. Unfortunately, the name for SP1 in Add/Remove Programs
is not intuitive, but it should be present. .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 is
listed as "Windows Server 2003 Hotfix - KB 867460" in Add/Remove Programs
on Windows Server 2003.

If uninstalling SP1 does not fix your problem then I would strongly
recommend re-installing it. A number of important fixes are contained in
SP1 and we definitely recommend you having it.

You can download .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003
from the following download site. It should also be offered to your system
on Windows Update if you have uninstalled and not yet re-installed it.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ae7edef7-2cb7-4864-
8623-a1038563df23&DisplayLang=en

Also, here is the list of bugs that are fixed in .NET Framework 1.1 SP1:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=867460

Again, hope this helps! I always hate it when machines get flattened to
fix applications; with any luck, we'll find a way to get you back in shape!

Take care.
 -Blair.
