How can I find out what debugger is attached to w3p.exe

I'm trying to setup debugging on a class ASP project in VS 2010, and in doing that am trying to attach it's debugger to w3p.exe. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit and IIS 7.5. I've used this method successfully a few times before on another machine.

However, I'm finding that this time I am unable to attach the debugger. It's saying:

Unable to attach to the process. A debugger is already attached.

But I can't figure out what it might be. How can I determine this? Or could it be something else? I've rebooted my PC and can't yet see signs of anything running which looks like a debugger.

Setup

In case it helps, here's the steps I used to setup the environment, which I documented from my previous successful attempts:

Are you having some Debug Diagnostics Tool running on your machine. Sometimes back i had the same problem the Debug Diagnostics Tool was debugging my w3p process.
