Greetings,

I have this annoying problem where my exception window in Visual Studio 2008 is replaced by a Windows pop-up dialog box (see images below). The exception detail can be quite usefull, so any help would be appreciated.

  • I am having the exact same issue. As with Sephrial my "Enable the Exception Assistant"-Option is enabled. Any other news here ?? – Nils Nov 23 '09 at 12:57

I noticed this happening when I enable unmanaged code debugging in the project properties.

  • So, I assume disabling unmanaged code debugging then fixes the problem? – Sephrial Sep 07 '10 at 18:52
  • It fixed it for me, but since Nils fixed the problem without touching the project properties I'm guessing there are multiple causes for the problem. – Dan Berindei Sep 14 '10 at 06:05

Make sure the Exception Assistant is still enabled.

  • GoTo: Tools -> Options -> Debugging
  • Ensure "Enable the Exception Assistant" is checked

The question #239206 did help me.
Running 

"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /resetskippkgs

on the Commandline (as Administrator) did the trick for me
