If I recall correctly, Softice has a handy macro associated with the 'F4' button which displays the user screen.
I can't find anything similar in Olly. Does such a function exist?

In softice F4 is necesary, alt + TAB dont function, but in OLLYDBG is not necesary WITH ALT +TAB you can switch to OLLYDBG when you WANT.

Hi Ricardo,

What I'm after is a way of viewing the deuggees window without the remanents Ollys window appearing in it. i.e. redraw the screen.
I must admit tho' I didn't try task switching, just minimising Olly.

What I've done is go to Window and then select "Always On Top". This gets rid of any other remanent left over by Olly because you have to minimize Olly before you can see any other background windows. I've too had that problem before with debugging on a breakpoint.

JDog45 are truely,that is the way to eliminate remanent windows.

. . . but I actually meant the debugee (left the 'b' out to confuse you all?)NOT the debugger.
Thinking further on the matter this could be trickier than envisaged, so never mind - not a biggie - thanks for your input anyway.

It's a very important feature, imo, particularly with graphics oriented apps. V2 might bring us remote capabilities.
