Is it possible to allocate a buffer of shared memory? I tried with gloabalalloc and GMEM_SHARE as flag, but it doesn't work(i think it's no more available in win32).
I need to access this block from different processes(i must jump to this buffer and execute the code it contains). Do you know a way to do that? I tried also with Vxdcall(PageModifyPermissions), but i'm not sure of the parameters passed to it and it doesnt work.
Thank you

I think you are in trouble with what you are after, the esentials
of win32 is seperate memory space for each application. There is
still a style for GlobalAlloc() GMEM_DDESHARE but it will not do
what you want and DDE was a messy process at best.
What I would suggest is a memory mapped file which can be accessed
by normal 32 bit apps. There is an example in Iczelion's tutorials.
This will not be available to a VxD from memory but
VxD programming is not really my area so you may get better data
elsewhere.

Theres a memory mapped file tutorial on Iczelions site. That should be exactly what you want.
If you have a fairly specific need for the shared memory. Create a dll, and in it create a new segemnt:
.386
.model flat, stdcall
option casemap: none
include \masm32\.....
include .....
.
.
.
Share32 SEGMENT BYTE USE32
ShareBuffer BYTE 01000h DUP(?)
Share32 ENDS
.data
.data?
.code
DllEntry PROC....
