Debug doesn't launch programs

My VS suddenly stopped onening WindowApplication projects when I debug them. When I type F5 the screen flashes but no window with my program appears. If I try to doubleclick on the file in the Debug directory of my project the windows just flashes and disappears. There is nothing wrong with the program and I tried many other programs as well. Is it a preference or something, has anyone experienced the same thing

    I had the same problem. It turned out to be a problem with my keyboard. Somehow I managed to turn off the "function lock" mechanism, so hitting F5 had no effect. If you're using a Microsoft Natural keyboard, you may want to check for this.

    If you double click your EXE in the debug directory then it's not a problem with the debugger, but a problem with your program. The problem with your program could stem from a problem with your .NET installation. Do other .NET applications work (ones that you haven't compiled)
