Question.

I have a simple little application written with MSVC 7.1 but the original author is now long gone.

So, I need to reverse engineer the thing so I can make my own version to continue the project.

The above is not normally a problem but this console application refuses to work in any disassembler I have tried (softice on XP SP1a I could not get to work). I can load it then hit f9 and the program will close out so it is not a fact of tracing it simply refuses in a disassembler.

Does MSVC 7.1 managed code do this or is there a disassembly detector in here hidden? What should have been 15 mins has turned into a fruitless all nighter as I am stumped.

xcrack I already did.

Here is a funny but I just created a simple 15 line console app and it is doing the same thing.

and try to debug another applaction if it crashs

check the services and the active programs

if only your program crash then it most be a bug on the code
