Hello! People I am new to this forum's.

I have beign wondering for quite a long time of how to debug
Full screen Mode Programs ??

Here is my problem:
Whenever i run a program which uses full screen mode and Olly breaks on a breakpoint the whole screen is blocked by Black
Window and the Olly Debugger window is also hidden due to it

Is there any way to debug such programs?
Also can i find a plugin which will let me hide such specific windows
so that the view in Olly Debugger is Clear to me?

Thankyou For Reading!

I think the only way of getting around this is to use a dual display setup and run olly or vstudio or whatever on the secondary display...thats what i do.

I also got this ploblem but it's solved.
Just make OllyDbg always alltop (Alt+F5) or another solutions
use my prog (Process Memory Manipulator 1.0 ) can be download on www.exetools.com ("http://www.exetools.com") or cracking.accessroot.com
to make the game window no always alltop you will debugging that game fine.

You might find relief in Odb2, as there's a chance it'll support "remote"
debugging. That is, you control and view the debugger on a remote
system, while *it* runs and controls your program on the target system.
Would be extremely valuable, imo, but... graphics is kinda one of my gigs.
