Visual-studio – Visual studio 2005 hangs when debugging

debuggingvisual-studio-2005

Visual studio debugger hangs while loading symbols for my application(native IA64), SP1 is installed. This started to occur, after i install debugging tools for windows(64 bit version), and reboot my computer. This issue is not depend on my project, even with new project debugger hangs.

UPDATE:
When i try to attach to the running process, the same situation repeats. Visual studio hangs while loading symbols(for kernell32.dll)

symsrv.dll is responsible for loading symbols from a symbol server - you might try renaming the one installed by Debugging Tools for Windows and see if the VS debugger starts working again.
