So, I enter 'hello' in 'Include' Field, and select 'Filter 1' in Highlight field. And Press 'OK'. I expect DbgView will highlight debug trace with word 'hello'. However, it doesn't, it just display 'hello' trace without highlighting it. I have to say, DbgView is a cool tool with a dumpest UI design about highlighting. What's Dbgview.exe?

Introduction
DebugView is an application that lets you monitor debug output on yourlocal system, or any computer on the network that you can reach viaTCP/IP. It is capable of displaying both kernel-mode and Win32 debugoutput, so you don't need a debugger to catch the debug output yourapplications or device drivers generate, nor do you need to modify yourapplications or drivers to use non-standard debug output APIs.
DebugView Capture
Under Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003 and Vista DebugView will capture:
- Win32 OutputDebugString
- Kernel-mode DbgPrint
- All kernel-mode variants of DbgPrint implemented in Windows XPand Server 2003
DebugView also extracts kernel-mode debug output generated before acrash from Window's 2000/XP crash dump files if DebugView wascapturing at the time of the crash.
DebugView Capabilities
DebugView has a powerful array of features for controlling andmanaging debug output.
Features new to version 4.6:
- Support for Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit
Features new to version 4.5:
- Support for log-file rollover: To better support long-runningcaptures, DebugView can now create a new log file each day,optionally clearing the display when doing so.
Features new to version 4.4:
- Support for Windows Server 2003 64-bit Edition and Windows XP64-bit Edition for x64:DebugView now captures kernel-mode debugoutput on 64-bit versions of Windows.
- Clock-time toggle: you can now toggle between clock time andelapsed time modes.
Features new to version 4.3:
- Support for Windows XP SP2:DebugView now captures kernel-modedebug output on Windows XP SP2.
- More highlighting filters: Many people have asked for morehighlighting filters.
- Log file wrapping: A new log file option has DebugView wraparound to the start of the log file when the specified size limit isreached.
- Larger buffers: Larger Win32 and kernel-mode buffers lessen thechance of dropped debug output.
- Clear-output string: When DebugView sees the special debugoutput string 'DBGVIEWCLEAR' it clears the output.
- Client minimize-to-tray: You can now run the client minimized inthe tray.
Features new to version 4.2:
- Kernel-hook bug fixed:DebugView sometimes mistakenly reportthat it couldn't hook kernel-mode debug output on Windows XP andServer 2003.
- Client global-capture option: A new option allows the client tocapture console Win32 debug output on Terminal Server systems whenrun from a non-console session.
- Filtering improved: Filters can be much longer and now apply toWin32 process IDs when process IDs are included in the output.
- Crash-dump support improved: Several bugs related to extractingkernel-mode output from crash dumps are fixed and DebugView nowloads resulting log files.
- More highlight filters:DebugView now has 10 highlight filters,up from 5.
- Insert comments: A new menu item lets you insert comments intooutput.
- New switches: New command-line switches allow you to specifyhistory depth and load log files.
- Better balloon tips: If an output line is wider than the screenits mouse hover balloon tip word wraps.
Features new to version 4.1:
- Save and load filters: You can save and load filters, includingthe highlighting colors.
- Load saved logs: You can now load a log file back into theDebugView output window.
- Capture boot-time kernel-mode debug output: Under Windows 2000,you can use DebugView to capture debug output generated by driversfrom the earliest point in the boot process.
Here is a list highlighting some of DebugView's other features:
- Remote monitoring: Capture kernel-mode and/or Win32 debug outputfrom any computer accessible via TCP/IP - even across the Internet.You can monitor multiple remote computers simultaneously.DebugView will even install its client software itself if you arerunning it on a Windows 2000 system and are capturing from anotherWindows 2000 system in the same Network Neighborhood.
- Most-recent-filter lists:DebugView remembers your most recentfilter selections, with an interface that makes it easy to reselectthem.
- Process ID option: Toggle the display of process IDs for Win32debug output.
- Clipboard copy: Select multiple lines in the output window andcopy their contents to the clipboard.
- Log-to-file: Write debug output to a file as its being captured.
- Printing: Print all or part of captured debug output to aprinter.
- One-file payload:DebugView is implemented as one file.
- Crash-Dump Support:DebugView can recover its buffers from acrash dump and save the output to a log file so that users can sendyou the output your Windows driver generated right up to the time ofa crash.
The on-line help file describes all these features, and more, indetail.
Installation and Use
Simply execute the DebugView program file (dbgview.exe) andDebugView will immediately start capturing debug output. Note that ifyou run DebugView on Windows 2000/XP you must have administrativeprivilege to view kernel-mode debug output. Menus, hot-keys, or toolbarbuttons can be used to clear the window, save the monitored data to afile, search output, change the window font, and more. The on-line helpdescribes all of DebugView's features.
