Hi there,
well, Win7 is now in the ring for a couple of month and so far it seems to be a pretty good OS. What nettled me all the time, was the fact that some beloved plugins for Olly don't work under it (OllyAdvanced for instance). There was a patch for Vista but that doesn't work under Win7 neither. There are some other plugins that don't work anymore, so i decided to do something against that
Most of us have a virtual machine for reversing but sometimes I don't want to boot it just to play with some CrackMe. Anyway!, virtualization was nevertheless the key to success. I virtualized OLLYDBG.exe and loaddll.exe under XP with SP3 and put it here:

You simply put the two of them in your Olly folder and run it as usual. Every plugin known to me works now under Vista or Win7 as Olly thinks it's running under XP. Note that your ollydbg.ini is NOT working with this .exe (it's simply ignored), because OLLYDBG.exe has it's own .ini file virtualized in it. BUT you can configure this Olly just as you wish - your settings will be stored in the ini (you just can't see it ). You can also rename my OLLYDBG.exe to something else. If you do that, place an additional (original) OLLYDBG.exe in the same folder where the renamed one resides (otherwise Olly won't run).
I hope someone finds that useful.
Dark hint:
If you are running Antivir from Avira, it MIGHT complain about some generic problem. This is a known issue, as you can read here:

If you don't trust it, upload the .exe files to Jotti or something similar or simply don't use it.
Best regards
