Hello guys,

I used to using ollydbg for analyzing, however I want to start using IDA too.
I have downloaded IDA free, however encountered some problems using it.

When I jump to an address that isn't analyzed by IDA, First I press 'C' for analyzing it as code, then 'P' to create a function and finally I start analyzing, commenting...

The problem is that when I restart IDA,No functions is defined for that address ,I should press 'C' and 'P' again and there aren't my comments.

is there anything wrong?

I am an amateur in using IDA, forgive me if this is a crazy question.

I only use a legit 6 version (thanks to my boss!) but I'm not sure you can save databases (or is it only on demo version?). You have (more or less proper) tricks to circumvent this.

Have you gave a look at the .idb files it produces ? (if it ever produces some)
Regards

Search for IDA 5.5

It saves everything.
