Thank you guys for the post!
I guess it is quite obvious which debugger I should check out.  :bg

I personally favor OllyDbg, it is by far the easiest to use and understand. Moreover, there are a lot of texts scattered in the internet explaining its usage. There are also a lot of plugins (free) to extend its usability. You can also listen to mp3 while debugging!  :thumbu

Hello!

I've checked out this OllyDbg. It is really a powerfull tool. Although I could not find something that would be important for me:
I debugged one of my codes, which was assembled using some self made libraries. The debugger tries to locate the source files of the libraries in the program's folder. Of course they cannot be found there, since they are stored in a separate "include" directory.
I could not find any possibility to tell the debugger the correct location of those files. In the "Source list" window the files are marked as "Absent"...
Am I a lamer or blind? Or is there no opportunity to set those locations?

Greets, Gábor

About OllyDebug : IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL !!!

excerpts from :
- the site www.ollydbg.de : OllyDbg is a shareware, but you can download and use it for free. :naughty:
- the readme.txt file :

- But what is the really meaning of the word "shareware" here ?  :dazzled:
(My native language is not the english)

- Another interesting debugger is "PEBrowse Professional browser Interactive" at http://www.smidgeonsoft.com/
  Read the home page before download at http://www.smidgeonsoft.com/download/PEBrowseDbg.zip    :cheekygreen:

- For my part I use GoBug (but it is a REAL shareware)  :U

Regards to all.
