Monodevelop doesn't launch Unity
I have Windows XP SP3. I upgraded Unity to version 3.4 after i upgraded I linked up monodevelop in unity preferences and also set the debugger in Monodevelop to unity and synced my project.
But when I press the debug butten or F5 in Monodevelop nothing happends.
It worked ok with the old version of unity I think it was 3.2 or something like that.

This form of debugging is long deprecated.
Since 3.3 you actually were meant (and should favor) the real way of debugging by using Run - Attach to Process (or clicking the "plug" icon to plug it into a process :))
that way you can work with the normal unity instance not one thats monodev startup garbaged
Just to mention: this also works for standalone or mobile builds, given you built them as development, activated for debugging
I found that that way was the only way I could debug. The only problem for me now is that when I reach a breakpoint and switch to $$anonymous$$onodev I am not able to go back to unity without stopping the debug session.
Sure you are, you only need to click the play button which in debug mode after a break / pause becomes "continue" (the 2 gears button). The execution will then continue and so does unity :)
Don't forget, a breakpoint set in code running in the editor play mode will breakpoint the whole unity editor mono environment :D
Worst case scenario if you hit a breakpoint in $$anonymous$$ono while debugging and don't want to select resume(F5) you can always just detach the process and Unity will continue as normal.
