I find it interesting that VS2005 requires terminal services… but it works now, and that is the main thing.

While I can't remember the exact wording, the error was that it failed to start the debugger. The problem? (after much googling) My terminal services service was not running - I must have disabled it in a frenzy of game-performance-related disablement of system function. (or better security, perhaps?) Anyway, after restarting the service everything worked fine, but it took a bit of googling to find the issue and from memory the 2003 install worked fine without it. So it's entirely possible to be working away with 2003 and upgrade to 2005 only to have it fail to work without explaination..... awesome!!
