No memory window in Visual Studio 2010

Question

I have VS2010 Premium RTM version on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

In the documentation they refer to the Memory 1-4 windows, supposedly under Debug->Windows->Memory.

I have "Enable address-level debugging" enabled in VS (Options->Debugging).

The problem is that I have no Memory menu item under Debug->Windows during debug of a c++ program.

Under Debug->Windows I have only: Breakpoints Parallel Tasks Parallel Stacks Watch -> Locals Call Stack Threads

Have anyone else experienced this (and hopefully solved it)?

Answer 1

During the first run of VS after installation it asks you which "mode" it should run in, depending on your selection it shows or hides various menu items etc. Maybe you selected an option that hid those windows? This is described at this page.

I think you can use the information on this page to change those settings.

You might also be able to just run Devenv /ResetSettings to reset them, but not sure exactly what you'd end up with then...

Answer 2

You can switch to expert mode by checking :

Tools > Settings > Expert Settings

Now you can show up Registers Window and much more other windows
