vsjitdebugger alternative? - visual-studio

vsjitdebugger gets more annoying when i switched to windows 7. :(
i'm a commandline person (vim, msbuild and vsjitdebugger) when developing .NET. I'm looking for a better vsjitdebugger alternative that automatically attaches the application to visual studio (or any application that is less annoying than vsjitdebugger.)
TIA :)

From here
To begin Just-In-Time debugging when
an error occurs
In the Just-In-Time Debugging dialog
box, in the Possible Debuggers list,
click New instance of Visual Studio
2010 or click an instance of Visual
Studio 2010 that is already running.
To use Visual Studio automatically for
all future crashes, click Set the
currently selected debugger as the
default.
If you want to choose what types of
code you will be able to debug, click
Manually choose the debugging engines.
If you do not choose this option,
Visual Studio automatically selects
the appropriate debug engines for the
type of code in your program.
Click OK.

Visual Studio debugger showing variables with memory address instead of value

I recently moved to a new PC, and my visual studio is now showing all variables in some sort of memory address mode. Normally I would just see the simple properties and values. I can't figure out how to turn this off and get the standard view.

Aw dude, so simple:
Close all instances of Visual Studio
Right-click on the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 shortcut and go to its Properties
Go to the Compatibility tab and uncheck "Run this program in compatible mode for:" and say Apply
Now start Visual Studio and open the project. You should be able to debug it.

Debugger Settings Change Between Visual Studio Instances

I having the most annoying problem with Visual Studio 2012 settings. Every time I close and re-open Visual Studio I find the Just My Code debugger setting disabled. No matter how many times I enable it, it is always disabled the next time I open the IDE.
Any idea how this could be occurring? All the other settings seem to persist well. It's only the Just My Code setting that's changing.
Well, I found the problem.
I have the .NET Reflector Plug-In installed in Visual Studio and it apparently doesn't like "Just My Code" so it disables it on start up.

Visual Studio extension to show which command has been just executed?

Is there a Visual Studio 2010 / 11 extension that would somehow monitor all commands that the developer is executing, either via mouse or keyboard, and show them in some window?
For IntelliJ IDEA, there is a plugin that can show keyboard shortcuts for actions executed on manus and toolbars. I am looking for something slightly different but for Visual Studio I couldn't find anything even remotely similar.
Any tips?

Visual Studio 2010 Add Reference Fails to Show

I have an issue with Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Visual Studio 2010 Express, when I right click on a project structure in the solution explorer, (on the references folder) and select "Add Reference" the Visual Studio 2010 window flashes as focus as left the window and then focus immediately returns and there is no new window that allows me to add references. This problem persists even after a clean install, and across multiple products (VS 2010 Ultimate and VS 2010 Express) I am using windows 7, and I have to think this problem ids outside of VS 2010, but this is the only issue I am currently facing.
Its like the references window (that allows you to pick the new reference) is automatically being closed.
Thanks.
I just had the same problem.
Do you have a tablet that you're using? If you enable the Tablet PC Input Service it should work again. There seem to be some dependencies on this service and/or conflicts with my Wacom drivers that caused the issue in the first place.

Add Reference or existing item popup is not show then answer is :
Window Button +R then type "services.msc" > search "Tablet PC Input Service" and the right Click on Start.
it will work correctly.

Why sometimes Visual Studio debugger doesn't offer to open the current instance?

I have Visual Studio 2008 & 2010 installed. I have a 'debugger' statement in some javascript. When I run the app from within VS, sometimes the VS prompt does not offer the current instance. I only see options to open new instances of VS 2008 & VS 2010.
What are some circumstances that would cause this?
If the instance is already in debug mode, it will not appear on the list.
