Visual Studio 2003 debugger stops after start now that 2005 is installed

Hi all

I am having a very tough problem. Since the RTM version of 2005 was installed side by side on my dev machine, I can no longer debug anything. The debugger sometimes comes up, may stop on a break, but quickly stops, and the asp.net web page continues running, but the IDE is returned from a debug state to an edit state.

I did a MDM reset as per another thread,mdm.exe /regsvr to no avail. This is killing my productivity, does anyone have any idea how to restore the debug functionality for 2003 Thanks !

    Well, I'll post this here to save someone some time, it only took me 3+ hours to solve! Yikes, there needs to be a MS tech note on this one.

    The problem is that if script debugging is enabled on IE, your debug state will stop when a popup window is opened. Turning this option off inside internet explorer advanced options makes everything work again. Anyone know if this is working as intendeded or is a bug with some other workaround

    Thanks,
