SYMPTOMS
You debug a Microsoft Visual C++ .NET application with the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET debugger. When you step through the code, the debugger stops responding for 20 seconds to as long as 2 minutes.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when you have the December 2002 version of the Microsoft Xbox Software Development Kit (XDK) installed. The Xbox Direct3D State Viewer add-in that is included with this version of the Xbox Software Development Kit tries to locate an attached Xbox and waits for that query to time out. This behavior causes the delay.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
 * Install the February, April, or June 2003 Xbox Software Development Kit.
 * Turn on the Xbox that is connected to your computer, and leave the Xbox on.
 * If you are not using the Xbox Direct3D State Viewer add-in, you can disable it: To do this, follow these steps in Visual Studio .NET:
 * On the Tools menu, click Add-in Manager.
 * Clear all the check boxes next to Xbox Direct3D State Viewer.
