    Very strange one ... today I loaded up VS 2010 to work on a VB.NET project .... but for some reason the Run/Pause/Stop buttons are missing from the toolbar and I cannot set breakpoints.

    Only changes from yesterday to my system was this morning Windows was trying to install Visual Studio SP1 updates but all failed.

    Any ideas?

    Have you tried right clicking on the menu and re-enabling the debugging menu?

    Also what do you mean you can't set breakpoints? Is both clicking the very left hand margin and right click -> insert breakpoint not working?

    Yep, tried right clicking on toolbar and selecting debug but that does not add any buttons.

    Clicking/right clicking on left hand margin does nothing either.

    All was working fine yesterday, the only change was the failed Windows/VS Updates this morning

    That does seem strange. A quick google doesn't seem to clear anything up either.

    Have you tried rebooting your system?

    Also see if you can breakpoint using: System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();

    Rebooted a few times and Googled the shizzle out of it but no joy.

    Trying a reinstall now

    Might be a repair option rather than doing a full install.

    Repair done the trick. Thanks all for suggestions

    Cant help but think the Windows 7 updates/VS updates are what caused things to go wonky
