If you are working on XP, you need to replace a DLL

Visual Studio 2012 introduced a new debug engine that loses some of the 
capabilities of the preceding debug engine. This includes displaying 
variables in the Watch Window. You can switch back to the old debug 
engine by going to Tools->Options and then under the debugger settings, 
turn on native edit and continue. This will also reenable the visualizer 
macros in autoexp.dat.
