VS attaching to process disabled

A few days ago, the attach button in "Attach to process" dialogue became disabled in VS 2010 and VS 2008 likewise. At first I thought that it is just an extension I've installed in VS 2010 but then I noticed it is the same in VS 2008. The both VS's a re running in administrative mode and on Windows 7. I looked around but I can't seem to find a solution to this. If anybody has encountered an similar problem, a little help would do great. Thanks upfront.

EDIT: Attached a picture of the dialogue!

Solution

  • Where it says enter image description here

    you should press 'Select' and ensure at least managed is ticked. (or choose automatic) enter image description here

    otherwise, the 'Attach' button will be disabled.
