Breaking DLL with OLLY

[goggles99]

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I thought this may help someone else too.

I actually found this thread on Google while searching for this OllyDbg error. There isn't much out there on it but it is very annoying and makes setting breakpoints impossible (since OllyDbg keeps looping witht his error message).

In order to perform action that is not supported by OS, OllyDbg has injected short piece of code into the debugged application, but received no response within 5 seconds. Do you want to wait for another 5 seconds? (If you answer No, the consistency and stability of program is not guaranteed and you should restart it as soon as possible).

I found out that I got this error only when the "Decode registers for any IP" option was checked under Options -> Debugging Options -> Registers tab.

I havn't debugged OllyDbg yet to find out exactly what is causing this error.

Beware, I didn't check this option manually. I have found that a couple of settings seem to sometimes "activate" somehow once in a while.

Hope this is helpfull to someone else looking for help or at least something to keep in mind in case you ever encounter this problem...
