I've always used SoftICE (v4.05) for run-time debugging, but it requires me to turn off read-only memory protection in order to install it in Win2k. I don't want to compromise my system stability so I'm not willing to do that, especially since it doesn't give me more specific information.
So looking for alternatives, I found WinDbg and OllyDbg. Both are pretty good, and have Windows GUI interfaces. The problem is when they break when a full-screen (DirectX) app is active, the game freezes (as it should) but you cannot go back to Windows without killing the debugger's process.
My searches for information on this topic so far have been unsuccessful, so I came here to ask if anyone knows a good solution. I would really appreciate any information that any of you may have. My e-mail is malakar2@hotmail.com just in case you want to mail me, but replying to this post is fine.
Thanks,
