OK, so I'm trying to step into some code in a .dll and need to attach to a process that's currently running. I'm using MS VisualStudio (and coding in C++ if it matters).
I select "attach to process" and the box that comes up shows nothing. Not even system processes. The really annoying part is that this used to work (a few weeks ago) and I don't remember changing anything.
I assume it's not looking in the right place, but don't know how to tell it what to do. Any ideas?

Check that the "Machine Debug Manager" service is running (run "services.msc" from the "Run ..." box off of the Start menu). That service provides debugger support for Visual Studio, and if it was stopped or disabled you may see odd behavior like this.

Can you open the project in a different machine and try? This way you can prove that there is nothing wrong with your VS install.
Then make a clean project with a hello world and try to attach to process from there, this way you can prove that your project is not corrupted.
