Win DBG Problems

Hi Folks,

I have not used the latest WinDBG in a long time. I am using what I think is
the latest version (5.00.2195.1163).
I used to be pretty good at getting WinDbg to work, but things have chanced
since then and I am not sure what I am doing wrong -
I used to set the source path and symbol patch via .srcpath and .sympath
commands (Atleast I remember it that way!)

I would always copy my driver and pdb file to a pre-designated folder and
make sure the debugger knew where it was via .sympath

Then I was fine, I could set break points and work.

Now with the new WinDbg, I *think* I have set the debuggers symbol path
correctly. (Currently set to %SystemRoot%\symbols, and that is where I copy
my driver and pdb file.

When I pull up the source file, and select a place to put a break, I get a
Violet/Pink breakpoint marker (What used to represent where the current
Instruction was when a break point was hit in the old windbg). When the
break is hit, a dialog complaining about the break pops up saying it cant
instantiate the break point, giving me different options (Including edit
breakpoints).

My question is:
What is it telling me, by break is never hit and the dialog gives me the
ability to skip it.

As a side I tried reloading the source files for my driver (.reload
DriverName) and it starts to reload, then says

Module Load: C:\Winnt\Symbols\DriverName (Could not open symbol file).
Could this mean my file is corrupt for some reason.

Also - How do I tell it where my source is for the driver. There is not
.srcpath command anymore (Or at least as far as I can tell). I noticed the
Path Mapping Pairs dialog. Is that it. I tried setting the Source to
C:\Winnt\symbols (Where I copy my Driver/pdb) and Mapped To my source
directory. This did not work. I also tried setting the “Default Path” on the
dialog to my source path, and that does not seem to work.

Thanks

-Chris

Let me be the first of many to tell you, “Get the latest WinDBG off of the
Microsoft DDK web site.” http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/debugging/

I’m using WibgDbg 5.00.2195.10 and I’m seeing exactly the same problem here, it doesn’t break at the set breakpoints and gives an error saying that it can’t load the symbol files ( even though they are in place !! )
