Ollydbg Comment Column - win32 api


From what i see in the various videos/screenshots, whenever you load an executable, the win32 api calls are visible in the comment column in the main CPU window.

How can one achieve this? In my version, i don't see them.

Thanks.


Solution

  • Try 'analyzing' at the current location or the location where you expect to see comments. When analyzing self-modifying code like packers, decryptors etc, the contents of the CPU window might not have been 'analyzed' by Ollydbg, because they could just have been unpacked, or modified.

    To analyze, right click at the desired location in CPU Window. Select Analysis> Analyze Code.
