Hello cybercoder. I know all too well how difficult it is to get back up to speed after taking an extended leave from reverse engineering.

Ollydbg is still the best choice for x32 debugging, in my opinion. The new 2.0 version is becoming quite popular. It probably works better on an x64 computer(for debugging x32 targets) than version 1.10. If you are like me and prefer version 1.10, I suggest using the x64 compatibility mode setting in the Olly Advanced plugin.

If you are interested in debugging x64 applications, I would suggest trying the new Bugdbg. Though it is in a Pre-alpha stage, many are suggesting that it is quite powerful:

For import reconstruction, I will recommend Scylla. It works seamlessly on windows 7.
