I'm working with a program called Flax v1.5.
My problem:..I can not get olly to break on a breakpoint (ex. getwindowtexta ), but if I set a the breakpoint in softice it will break on it everytime.
Any Ideas?

BTW: I am new to "cracking"

Hi mythical,
nice target you have found.
From what I have seen (a quick glance...), the program creates another instance of himself using CreateProcess function. The main program, the one you loaded with olly, closes himself but the new program will run normally. That is the reason why you can't put breakpoint in olly.

Thanks alot ZaiRoN,

Looks like I'll have to dothis in SoftIce

Why? Force the process that's using CreateProcess to add the suspended flag to the call, and then overwrite the entry point with an infinite jump. Then allow it to continue, load up another ollydbg and attach to the new process.

Easy
