I use Olly already some years w/o probs with
Win98SE/Win2k/WinXP. But because OllyDbg doesn't always break on point-h in
WinXP while it does in Win2k, I installed Win2K on Microsoft Virtual PC 2004
v5.3.582. After that I copied my working Olly dir from XP to the virtual pc,
but I can't get it started. I also tried the original version, but the same
prob. I only get an message that "Ollydbg.exe has generated errors and will
be closed by Windows". (look at the attached image)
A
It tells also that a log file is created, but it isn't in the Win2k log
files. So I still don't know what's wrong, but maybe somebody knows it?

well that error dialog doesnt show anything meaningfull
there are some option

1)unzip the ollydbg zip to a new folder and see if it works
2)if it said it logged something i think ( iam not versed with virt pc so i may be wrong the just in time debugger which is
drwatson logged the crash probably
if that is the case them you can search for minidump.dmp
drwatson.log or memory.dmp (those are the files that are created by
drwatson
3)or if you have windbg you can set up it as justintime debugger
instead of dr watson and let it catch the exception
4)last this may not work since the crashing app is ollydbg
still you can try to give it a spin
make ollydbg the just in time debugger and let it catch itself

mostprobaly inzipping it to a new folder should solve the problem

Thanks for the reply, oh me anon.

But unpacked original v.1.10 Olly.zip crashed too, also the beta 1, 2 and 3. Version 1.09d has no prob, so now I'm tracing Olly v1.10 with v1.09. But it's very, very slow...

OK. Finally found it. Original Olly.zip was right, but I used my own .ini which reffers to my plugin dir, and there was the prob. I traced it with v1.09d and found that it crashed at 04501082:
04501082 8A1401 MOV DL,BYTE PTR DS:[ECX+EAX]
DS:[77E75000]=???
DL=00

So I traced to there and found that this error was called within this call:
004969C7 |. FFD7 |CALL EDI ; PuntosMa._ODBG_Plugininit

I stepped into this call till I came here:
045018AD E8 4EF7FFFF CALL PuntosMa.04501000

Then it goes wrong.

So the prob is in PuntosMagicos.dll, the Point H and Point A for VB 5-6 plugin by TheKluger. Maybe he can fix it....

Renaming PuntosMagicos.dll wasn't enough to get rid of this error. I had to delete/remove it...

well there is a thread here about it crashing in w2k and a reply by ricardo stating that this plugin is meant only for xp not for w2k so that closes the issue hope you had some fun and learnt some thing in the process
