I'm having problems with OLLYDBG in Win8.1.

For example, I'm using a simple VB 6.0 program with a textbox and a command box. When I run it through OLLYDBG in WinXP, it shows all referenced text strings properly, while in Win 8.1 it shows only internal info and random values.

SSE and IP are off.

What I mean is that it doesn't properly read any program in Win8, running as admin and attached.

You are asking why a 20c program doesn't work?

You can also start in a debugger.

windbg or ntsd (ntsd is a console program and maybe installed). Both are also from Debugging Tools For Windows.

Download and install Debugging Tools for Windows

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852363

Install the Windows SDK but just choose the debugging tools.

Create a folder called Symbols in C:\

Start Windbg. File menu - Symbol File Path and enter

 srv*C:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

then 

  windbg -o -g -G c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /k batfile.bat

You can press F12 to stop it and kb will show the call stack (g continues the program). If there's errors it will also stop and show them.

Type lm to list loaded modules, x *!* to list the symbols and bp <symbolname> to set a breakpoint

If programming in VB6 then this environmental variable link=/pdb:none stores the symbols in the dll rather than seperate files. Make sure you compile the program with No Optimisations and tick the box for Create Symbolic Debug Info. Both on the Compile tab in the Project's Properties.

Also CoClassSyms (microsoft.com/msj/0399/hood/hood0399.aspx) can make symbols from type libraries.
