Not able to debug an ASP.Net application in Visual Studio 2005 on Windows Vista operating system having IE7.

There are different ways to resolve this issue.

Resolutions:

Resolution 1. In Internet Explorer 7, uncheck the "Enabled protected mode" under the "Security" tab in IE settings for the Local Intranet Zone.

Resolution 2. In Internet Explorer 7, add the url e.g (https://localhost) to the "Trusted Sites".

Resolution 3. Run the Visual Studio 2005 as "Run as administrator".

Resolution 4. Uncheck the User Account Control (UAC) settings for the user in the control panel under User account settings(not recomended).

After installing the VS2005 SP1, the issue still persists.

However, the issue does not occur on Visual Studio 2008 and IE8.

Hope this helps :)

Cheers!
