Agreed on the use of Windbg; however, I think you will do much better with SysInternals Process Monitor, free from MS TechNet -

Hi
I have an application that reads data from a PCMCIA card. On one machine it works fine, on another with different hardware (different pcmcia reader) it doesnt.
The second seems to be an issue where the card reader possibly presents the data in a slightly different way. Can i use Windbg and attach it to the application and inspect the data passed between the operating system and the application?
Thanks

Windbg is designed to read Windows dump files, so I think not. What format is the pcmcia data? I suspect that the resolution might be as simple as ensuring that the regional settings are the same on both machines, ie short date is mm/dd/yy rather than mm/dd/yyyy or something similar. Compare them and make them the same. If the data is in code, a useful reader is hexedit. No installer, just download, run and use.
