CVF , XP and Debug

[jameshprice]

I just started trying using CVF6.6 on XP and can't get the
debugger to start. I can execute OK but, when I click the
GO button to debug I get an error. The Developer Studio
tells me that it has encountered a problem and need to quit. The error report contains the following:

AppName: dfdev.exe AppVer: 6.0.8168.2 ModName: devdbg.pkg

ModVer: 6.0.8168.0 Offset: 0001851d

I have reloaded the CVF 6.6 patch. That did not help.
I have not a clue what to try next. I am currently using the same setup on NT4.O and everything works great.

The usual solution to this problem is to delete the .OPT file in the project folder.

What is the .OPT file and what is it used for? Is it a necessary file? If so, how is it recreated?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

The .opt file contains project appearance options such as window and pane sizes, which panes you have active, and also debug breakpoints. What can happen, especially if you upgrade Windows, is that some of the information in this file becomes corrupted or incorrect for the new configuration, and Developer Studio tends to fall over. The next time you open the project, the file will be recreated automatically.
