After you successfully debug Active Server Pages (ASP) pages for a few debugging sessions, you may receive the error message

automatically. You may not be able to debug ASP pages. Do you want to
continue launching the debugger?

or the debugger might stop breaking on breakpoints.

The packages that Visual InterDev creates in Microsoft Transaction Server on the Web server are created but never destroyed, and the identity of the packages is set to the user "Y". This is because the IWAM_Servername is not synchronized between the usermanager and the Internet Information Server (IIS) metabase.
