Many of the web developers or BHO, toolbar, ActiveX developers new to Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) encountered this issue, so did I. After Googling for sometime I eventually found the solution and liked to share it with you.
IE8 uses multiple processes for multiple tabs, automatic tab crash recovery, per-site ActiveX controls and protected mode. This disables Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 to attach to an IE8 process and debug and doesn’t stop on break points. Here is the solution:
Modify the registry as described below;
Open RegEdit (Go to start menu search, type regedit, once found run it)
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Internet Explorer -> Main
Add a DWORD value called TabProcGrowth with a value of 0
Note that If you are using a 64-bit computer, you want to edit the 32-bit registry.
This will restrict IE8 to one process per instance and protection mode will automatically turn off, if you are running Windows Vista / Windows 7 or newer.
In addition to this, IE’s installer will re-disable script debugging. So you will need to re-enable it:
- Open Internet Explorer
- Go to Tools->Internet Options
- Switch to the Advanced tab
- Uncheck ‘Disable script debugging (internet explorer)’
I don’t know if this is a problem with Visual Studio 2008, but can give it a try if the problem occurs on VS 2008.
Note: Make sure you turn on the protection mode for real-time testing environment by make the assigning a value greater than 0 to TabProcGrowth.

Remember the time when it takes hours to download a 2MB music file? or an MPEG format movie for a week? Those times when you wake up excited to check your PC to see if it’s done, only to find out that it’s only 70% complete!
Having internet access is like owning your own one-stop-shop, from entertainment to current events, from school to your job, even shopping and paying your bills. Everything you need is just a click away.
But having a GREAT speed internet is just MAGIC! Here in the Philippines the average internet speed is 323.0 Kbps (3558 tests). No wonder it takes hours to download files! But this was years ago; today you can avail internet speed that reaches a maximum of 12Mbps/min! That’s like downloading the whole album of your favorite artist in a matter of minutes! Imagine browsing the internet like flipping a page of a book, finding answers and quick fix to almost everything you need in a blink of an eye and having done more work loads than you usually do and still have time to do Facebook? Could this get any better?…No.
But it sure does come a little pricey. The great news is, that some of the long standing and reputable telephone companies here in the Philippines, offers internet speed close to perfection at a much cheaper price. An example company would be the Philippine Long-Distance Telephone company (PLDT) that offers a proud 3Mbps/min. This is like 100x faster than the average internet speed in the country and they give additional perks that is included with the package.
Internet used to be a top secret military technology, then became a luxury for the rich and now it has become a part of our daily needs. Investing in this kind of necessity is vital, so make sure you have a reputable ISP to ensure hassle-free internet usage.

If you live out in the country and don’t have access to cable or DSL (digital subscriber line) service, how can you get high-speed Internet service? Simple – Satellite Internet. But who has the highest speeds and the best prices? Read on …
What is Satellite Internet Service?
Instead of using your phone line or a cable line to access the Internet, satellite service uses a satellite dish to capture then redirect a satellite Internet signal to your computer. Because satellite service does not have the bandwidth restriction that dialup service does, satellite service is up to 50 times faster than dialup.
High-speed satellite service is available to anyone in the United States who has an unobstructed view of the southern sky.
What Equipment do I Need?
In order to get satellite service you need a satellite dish to capture the signal sent by an Internet provider, and an uplink and downlink modem.
Which Provider Has the Highest Speed?
Of the four major Satellite Internet companies, HughesNet offers the fastest speed available – 5Mbps download speed which is 50 times faster than dialup.
It’s closest competitor, WildBlue offers upload speeds up to 1.5 Mbps. The next two providers, SkyWay and StarBand also offer speeds up to 1.5 Mbps.
How Much Does it Cost?
Thanks to the competition between satellite providers, prices have come down in recent years. For instance, you can get 1 Mbps service from HughesNet for $59.99 per month. That includes free installation, 24/7 technical support, and anti-spam and anti-virus protection. You also get a 30-day money-back guarantee.
WildBlue’s 1 Mbps service is $69.95 per month, SkyWay’s 1.5 Mbps service is $79.95 per month, and Starband’s 1 Mbps service is $69.99 per month.
The Bottom Line
If you want a super-fast Internet connection that lets you surf web pages like flipping through the pages of a magazine … an always-on connection that lets you talk on the phone while you’re on the Internet … and the ability to download music and video files in seconds instead of minutes or hours … then satellite Internet service is what you’re looking for.
