Conditional breakpoints not working

Hi,

I'm having problems using conditional breakpoints targetting a process or thread. They break always.

Once saw the single step exception exception handling may modify the behavior.

Any hint before I start modifying the code to circumvent this?

Thanks,
Mauro.

    These have pretty much always worked for me. Sometimes I've had problems
    setting one on a REALLY busy code path (e.g. a registery change notification
    handler). I suspect that this has to do with the breakpoint evaluation
    happening on the host and not the target, so you're constantly
    breaking/resuming the target machine.

    Hi Scott, don't remember well but once I hear from one guy of WinDbg team in Twitter, they had problems on some OSes because changes.

    Might be a good idea to switch to the new WinDbg, right?
