Problem with Ollydbg on Windows7

[p3tr0va]

Hi to everyone.

I am trying to debug a program with Ollydbg v1.10 on a virtual machine running Windows 7 32bits, the program use the GetOpenFileName() and GetSaveFileName() functions.
I press F9 to run the program and when I click on the Open file menu option in the program, it ends up in a paused state.

This happens with all the programs that I have tried to debug with Ollydbg on Windows 7 and use the aforementioned functions.

Why this happens?

There is not problem when I work on Windows XP sp3 32bits.

What's the result with OllyDbg 2.01?

Known problem, but, so far, unknown solution.
It's the same with Ollydbg 2.01.
I have decided to ignore the exception and add it to the list of exceptions to ignore in Ollydbg.

Thanks for your help.

a big change with windows 7 was window hierarchy for controls and dialogs
they added a layer (or more) for all kinds of controls
they call them "worker" windows - kind of analogous to "wrapper" functions

one might guess they use these worker windows to employ a C "try-catch-throw-block" mechanism
that might explain why the exception occurs
and, it may provide a hint to a solution

That is indeed a straightforward solution :t
