* Download WinDbg from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx#a * Add "hard" breakpoints in your code using __asm int 3; * Run your program If everything works well, when a breakpoint is reached you'll get message box asking if you want to debug the program. When you hit "OK", WinDbg should open with your code. Just point it to the source location and you should be set.
