Debugging DLLs

[Anonymous]

Excuse me for being a newbie. But im having problems disassembling dlls.
Should i open it in the File->open menu or anywhere else. Im having errors doing that. it says -unable to start the file DLL.dll-
I still use wdasm/hexeditor because of this problem.

Wait untill Ollydbg 2.0 releashed.

[TBD]

or you can make a small proggie that loads the DLL and then analyze it

Find the program that uses the dll, load that program and do your work on the dll whilst the program has it open.

And is it possible to break inside a dll?
I tried with a small program.Only the splash screen was inside the executable but the core of the program is inside one dll.
I load the .exe with olly and I press F9 then the prog runs but after the splash ,Olly terminate the process,the program is still runing.
I try to trace into each call but I never break inside the dll.
So,is it impossible or Have I made something wrong?
But how can olly break inside dll such as Kernel32 or User32.

In debugging options-events mark break on dll load and stop in dll load jeje, in view- executables or view- memory you can put bpm in the dll, and if is other process still running, open other ollydbg and go to file - attach and atach olly to this process and continue debugging normally.
