Visual Studio not debugging

I have a problem that has lately being bugging me on 2 different computers

What is happening is that I press F5, to compile my website, the website loads, but I cannot debug! Its like I am not running the website from visual studio at all. And then sometimes I restart my PC, and it comes back to normal. I have no idea what is the problem, and I have looked up this issue for quite a while now, but to no avail...

Can somebody shed some light on this? I have no clue what is happening here

Thanks

It might have to do with how you are opening your project in VS. Make sure you selecting the correct project/solution file.

I was having a similar issue when opening a MVC project with Open->Website rather than with the .sln file (solution) saved in the root of the site.

If you are using IE8 or running on Vista then you need to run Visual Studio 2005 with elevated privileges to get debugging to work nicely.

I found with IE8 due to the threading that I either had to close all the IE windows or run as admin. There was another hack which I can't remember and I think was fixed in VS2008 SP1 because I don't have that problem anymore.

You could always try: Debug --> Attach to Process.

It tends to be either the aspnet_wp.exe (IIS 6.0, XP) or one of the W3WP.exe processes (IIS 6.0, Server 2003).
