If you have MSVC, you simply fire up the IDE and do "Debug - Attach to 
Process" (or something similar). You'll get a list of processes, and the 
debugger will attach to it. (Detaching the debugger is impossible under 
Windows - terminating the debug session will terminate the process being 
debugged. Don't ask me why.)

Single-stepping assembly code isn't going to get you much, but you'll 
see a stack trace. And you can switch between system threads, so if the 
stack trace doesn't tell you much, switch to a different thread and look 
there. (Switching threads is a bit cumbersome.)
