Using DebugView to get trace information

Trace is essential to debug your target application, however, if the application doesn't put the trace to a log file or it's not hooked by a debugger, it's not easy to get the trace information from it.

Under such circumstance, you can use DebugView (From SysInternal) to get the trace information.

DebugView is an application that lets you monitor debug output on your local system, or any computer on the network that you can reach via TCP/IP. It is capable of displaying both kernel-mode and Win32 debug output, so you don't need a debugger to catch the debug output your applications or device drivers generate, nor do you need to modify your applications or drivers to use non-standard debug output APIs.

DebugView works on Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows for x64 processors and Windows Vista.
