seems like i was told by a classmate that VS2005 in Vista Cannot debug. i have the same problem, is there a fix to this?

You have to install SP1 for VS2005 then the Vista update finally checking windows update for any other patches. This will allow you to run but in reality you still need to use the Administrator account (or an account with admin rights) to run VS2005 (right click VS2005 icon and choose run as).

And I'd still suggest debugging with WinDBG or CDB from the Debugging Tools for Windows download anyway, as they're much more robust and configurable debuggers than the VS debugger.
