With softice loaded i have no functional proublems. It goes in and out of service with the ctrl-D button.The trouble comes when I use the loader ,it opens but to translate i get errors. Do I need something more?. What about symbols where and how to use them. Also when I ctrl-D into SI and use Task I get "no LDT" when I type hwnd I get
"can't find windows desktop. Is it how I'm loading it or the lack of some files.
please help me....

what you are seeing is normal... when you use the loader and the module has no symbols, you get a harmless error you can ignore. you can use symbols with your own executables if you compile with the right options and translate the symbols in the loader, as explained in the numega dox.

as for task, well, under nt this only gives 16 bit tasks if there are any, and only for a wow (windows on windows) process. better use addr or proc. for hwnd, you need to be in some context that has actual windows... try something like 'addr explorer' to switch to the explorer context and then type hwnd.
