VS 2005: cannot start debugging

[Giedrius]

Hi,
Just installed latest VS 2005 without C++ ( VS.Net 2003 also exists)
trying to run local windows application project, shows an error message:

"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging.
This operation returned because the timeout period expired."

Attach to Process Ctrl+Alt+P shows the same error.
I have tryed various combinations to start/enable services it just does not
work, while on the other computer it works great from beginning. Could
someone point me to what to do next?

Have you tryed recompiling the whole solution, sounds like the pdb-files are
missing?

Hi recompiling did not help, since debugging was not working totally
(Ctrl+Alt+P and attach any exe).
I had to remove some files from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\VS7Debug\ (csm.dll and pdm.dll)
this somehow helped at least to start a project, however I havent done any
deep testing.
