try closing all IDE instances, opening a VS command prompt window and type:<br />
<br />
devenv.exe /reset<br />
<br />

I noticed several times that an accepted solution with a link in it contains a link that is broken or no longer valid. So that means that the solution has no value anymore. Shouldn't it be better to copy the complete solution?

Hi,<br />
After working for a couple of years suddenly the debug options have disappeared from my installation of Visual Studio 2005 (which I use for VB.NET development).<br />
<br />
As you can see in the attached screenshots, there is no sign of the debug toolbar or any debug related menu items.<br />
<br />
Can anybody please help me get my debug functionality back?<br />
<br />
Best Regards,<br />

Missing debug menu/toolbar in Visual Studio 2005
