Yes, there are different debug engines used by VS.NET when debugging managed
and unmanaged applications (called Native and CLR, respectively). They can be used
separately, or they can be used together (mixed mode, or interop).

There are two ways to specify the engine:
1) Using project settings
Project properties | Configuration Properties | Debugging | Debugger Type
(though I remember that in a previous message you said that it's "Auto", which
is usually good enough - anyway, what setting is there now? What happens
if you try other settings?)
2) When attaching to the running application
(in Attach to Process dialog, you can select "Common Language Runtime" or "Native"
engine, or both - which do you use?)

>From your description it looks like the debugger has a problem choosing the correct
debug engine for the application when it is starting under debugger, though does not
have this problem when attaching to it (if you choose "Native" in Attach to Process
dialog, of course). Take a look at the information here, may be there is something
that can help:
