And make sure you're in debug mode :)

If this doesn't help try Tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Reset all settings

    I feel a little stupid asking this, but the "Debug"-menu in my Visual Studio installation has disappeared. It supposed to be between the "Build" and "Tools" menu, but it is simply not there. Restarting VS doesn't help. Also tried looking for a way to customize the menus, but no success.

    Any ideas where it went, and how I can get it back?

    Under the "Rearrange Commands" dialog, I can select different menus to customize and reset, but there is no Debug menu to select. Its as if the debug menu has been erased completely.

    Aha. Thanks. I didn't think of the menu bar as being a toolbar, so I never looked under the "Toolbars" tab. Thanks!

    "Right click on your menu?" Doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

    @ChrisJ - I think what he meant is: Right click on your Toolbar where "File, Edit, View ... " is -> Customize... -> Commands tab -> Menu bar: select Menu bar from the drop down menu -> click: Reset All.
