I am Finally Able to Debug in Visual Studio 2005

I needed a laptop a couple of months ago as I am doing more and more freelance / contracting work lately. I wanted a Toshiba and ended up with the P105-S6177. It came loaded with Vista Home Premium, 2GB memory, 120GB HD, 17" screen, etc... So I had Visual Studio installed when I got home only to find out that I couldn't Debug! I had to revert back to classic-ASP'esque Response.Write() lines. Loooaaads of fun.
This morning I awoke to 8 updates via Automatic Updates and installed them right away in hopes that this intermittent problem with IE 7.0 freezing up anywhere from 1 - 5 minutes at times when I am feeling most productive would simply go away. Well this morning while working on a test application I accidentally clicked 'Start Debugging' instead of 'Start Without Debugging' and was floored to see that I was actually able to do this without some obtrusive messagebox telling me otherwise. Talk about simple pleasures.
Thanks Microsoft! At the same time I am sorry to say that I am going to install Firefox after I press the 'Submit' button for this entry.
UPDATE #1
I am no longer able to Debug in Visual Studio 2005!
UPDATE #2
I am able to Debug in Visual Studio 2005 (again)! More information here.
Interesting,
