Debugger constantly throws an exception?

Question

I am trying to move our projects over to use MonoDevelop, as we have been having a very bad experience with Visual Studio. Anyways, when ever we go to debug an application, we get a TargetInvocationException and asked to Ignore, Retry, Abort. Clicking anything other than abort just re-throws the exception and on clicking abort forces MonoDevelop to crash.

This happens no matter what project I debug. I even setup a bare minimal Console application and this exception gets thrown every-time. MonoDevelop is setup to use the Microsoft.Net run-time with the Microsoft.Net Debugger set as priority number one. I have tried different settings and all seem to result to the same scenario.

Not sure if this has ever been an issue, but me and another developer I am working with are experiencing the same thing. Also searched through nearly every web page I could find on Google and Yahoo but found nothing.

If anybody knows anything that would be great or can anyone point in the right direction?

EDIT:

Seems if you click Ignore several times, the debugger will fall through and begin debugging the application... that could get very annoying after a while.

While its the standard answer we hate to hear - in this case I would recommend trying to reinstall (at least "repair") Visual Studio. It does look like something got corrupted on your machine.
