Visual Studio IDE pops many windiws in debug mode

Question

Hi,

I have .NET 2005 installed. Recently during debugging a project many debug windows pop up. For e.g. Memory 1 - 7 windows, watch 1-4 windows, process window etc. In all about 20 windows pop up.

I don't have any custom configuration files which open so many windows.

I re-installed .NET 2005, the problem went away for a couple of days, but .NET IDE started acting up again and opens about 20 windows while in debug mode.

Any suggestions what might have gone wrong and how to fix this issue?

Thanks, Parag

Parag,

Did you ever find a solution for this?

I just started having the same trouble and came upon this post. It seemed to start after I was running and debugging in two separate instances of VS simultaneously. Entering debugging mode opens many windows. Once debugging finishes I can rearrange the windows to my liking, close, and then reopen VS. The windows are in the correct layout. Once it switches to debugging mode, though, the problem reappears.
