using xdebug on wamp under windows 7

I recently had windows 7 installed on my machine at work after it had been running like a dog for the past 6 months, previously I had Win Xp. I tried to install WAMP and xdebug but was finding that I kept on having random connection issues and breakpoints was not working, bloody annoying! At first I thought this was because I was running php 5.3 wamp but then tried to put in php 5.2 but pin point it to recent versions of Xdebug not playing very well with WAMP.

I read a couple of posts and just changed dll used to version 2.0.0 and it suddenly worked!

Also for future reference :

zend_extension_ts="C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.2.9-1/ext/php_xdebug-2.0.4-5.2.8.dll"
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000

Got this from the netbeans wiki

UPDATE: Really useful xdebug wizard to work out which binary and instructions for your specific setup. Awesome juice!
