VC 6 debugger and MFC...

Does anyone know why the VC++ 6 debugger won''t show MFC objects like CFile, CString, etc? It literally does not know they exist, as in it says "unknown symbol" if you try to do a Quickwatch, and they appear as blank entries in the Variable window with their value being CXX0030: Error: expression cannot be evaluated The only way the debugger acknowledges their existance is if you have your Variable window tab set to "auto" then it tells you what the member functions returned (like "CString::GetLength() returned 3" or "CString::GetBuffer(0) returned "aaa") It''s only a visual thing, since the program still works as intended, it''s just that the debugger isn''t giving me any feedback on MFC objects, which makes debugging rather hard in some cases. Anyone know how to fix this?
