Debug problem



Below are two messages I sent out last year regarding not being able to
debug in VS. I never received a response, but within 24 hours, the problem
had disappeared as also noted below.

Well, the problem reoccurred last evening, and this morning still exists.

What I find particularly odd is that the exe created by the build seems to
start then stops if you try to run it from anywhere within the project
folder. However, if you copy it, say, to the desktop and run it there is no
problem.

Has anyone seen the problem detailed below before, and do you know of a
solution.

Something very strange has happened to Visual Studio Professional 2005
on my
laptop. I need to get it figured out since I am on the road and don't
have
access to my desktop computer or my VS disks.

I was working with a Windows project and debugging fine. I only made
a few
minutes worth of changes (and did nothing to the VS setup as far as I
know).
The all of a sudden, when I clicked on Debug | Start Debugging, the
project
build succeeded, the startup window of the application appeared and
disappeared in a flash. A second try produced the same thing.


I checked the output folders (ProjectName/bin and
ProjectName/obj/Release)
and found the application exe there and double-clicked on it. The hour
glass
appeared, but nothing else.


Then I got an idea and moved the exe to another folder on the
computer. The
exe ran fine from there and exhibited the changes I had made to it
before I
tried to run it in debug mode. This is very strange in that it appears
that
from within these folders, the application exe can not be run. Other
exes
like notepad.exe will run fine from there.


Additionally I note that on the VS Build menu item I do not have a
Configuration Manager in the drop down.


Finally, this is the situation for all projects including new ones I
have on
the laptop.


Does anyone have any suggestions? So far a search via Google has
produced
nothing.

For the record, this problem was solved by shutting down the
laptop and
restarting it an hour later (which also happened to be the next
day). Why
this would correct the problem and simply shutting down and then
rebooting
did not solve the problem, I can not say.

I recall now that this same thing happened to me several months
back, and
the solution then was to shut down in the evening and start up
again the
next morning.
