    Oh, that's OK. It didn't take long. I copied it from the tutorial over on vistax64.com and did a find/replace for the word "Vista"

    EDIT: I'll aim to expand it a bit over time, especially if people are interested in specifics.

    Hello H2SO4.


    It would be best if the other posts were removed from this and the thread locked so that it won't get filled up with extraneous posts like this one, that way the info won't be hard to find in all the extra posts.

    Which software ?

    Missed one:

    Yeah, I left that one on purpose - I didn't think it would detract from the validity of the example.

    Also, it's considered extremely bad form to mess with debugger spew before presenting it as supposedly just-copied-and-pasted

    Thanks guys. I don't mind what the moderators and admins choose to do with it, though in some ways I'd rather keep it here rather than see it go to "tutorials". It may be more visible to those who come to this section because they've got a problem, rather than because they're looking for a tutorial on debugging.

    As far as extraneous posts (like this one) and locking are concerned, I imagine that would have to be handled by a moderator? It would be nice if the thread could remain at least partially interactive, so that questions could be asked (and maybe even answered), and others may contribute. Perhaps the non-core posts could simply be culled every so often?

    Roger that!

    Its just that being w7, noobs might have difficulty following,

    and become confused with dinosaur terminology.

    Nobody's gonna check 'symbol references',

    APIs in .h, or anything like that...

    I see your point. Done. I have angered the gods of debugging by editing that first post to show Win7 as the name of the OS being debugged.

    To punish me, some 7th-Dan Pedant is now going to come out of the woodwork to point out that the information is inconsistent because the modules list doesn't match the preferred load addresses for Win 7
