Visual Studio 2010: Attaching the Script debugger to process iexplore.exe failed
After installing IE10 on a windows 7 machine, visual studio 2010 started popping up the following message when running a website in debug mode:

Attaching the Script debugger to process iexplore.exe failed

The fix appears to be:
Close all browser windows (okay to leave Visual Studio open)
Paste the following text into your command box (start menu) and run it:

regsvr32.exe "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\msdbg2.dll

IE 10 also shows white boxes / white areas over the first page you load with a GridView when you are debugging. After refreshing the page, all pages then work fine until you stop and restart your debug session.
The solution for this appears to be:
IE10/Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Accelerated graphics/Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering/check (yes).
No restart seems to be needed.
