Visual Studio 2012 C++ Debugger does not start: loading symbols

Question

I have solved my previous problem, that I don t have any header files by uninstall vs10 and reinstall vs12. So it compiles now and I can run the project.

But there is the next problem: If I start my executable by running the debugger or just hitting the ("play-button") my C++ compiler compiles it and after that vs12 startes loading symbols. But I can wait for hours and it won t do anything. It tells me that it is loading symbols for uxtheme.dll from my Debug Output folder. And it also tells me that if I cancel it will disable automatic symbol loading. But if I cancel it also just happens nothing and I have to restart visual studio 2012.

So does anyone know whats my problem?

Answer 1

Maybe you set up VS to load debug symbols for system libraries from microsoft.com? Tools->Options->Debugging->Symbols
