poor lil me is just soo clueless.I have tried everything.I can't get sice4.05 to load on WinME.

1)Without any loaders:-
a) i get the msg "Enhanced Windows 386 is already running" whenever i dbl click winice.exe.
b)when i press Ctr-D nothing happens.
c)whenever i add "g:\softice\winice.exe" to autoexec.bat and i run autoexec.bat the same msg as 1a) appears.
d)when i save the altered autoexec.bat and restart and then press CTR-D nothing happens.When i recheck autoexec.bat the added line is not there???
e)when i uninstall and let softice's setup add the line by itself and restart and press CTR-D nothing happens and there is no line in autoexec.bat???

2)I tried the microsoft/numega solution:-
a)when i use the standard debugger installation windows doesnt load(period!).
b)when i use the system.ini debugger installation funny stuff happens(everything same as in 1 except this time when i restart or shutdown the computer doesnt restart or shutdown it just gives me a black screen with a blinking white ' _ ' on the top left of the screen???

3)I havent tried the protools loader cause it sounds complicated...

WHAT I'M SURE OF:-
i have a S3 Trio 3D-2X video adapter so i tried all S3 adapters as well as the SuperVGA during setup and none worked(only when i use the "Universal" thingy they work).....Whatever i do the autoexec.bat file doesnt have the winice.exe line after restarting.

WHAT I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW:-
1)Has anyone experianced the exact same problems?
2)What does "Enhanced windows 386 is already loaded" mean?
3)What can i do to load winice.exe???
PLEASE I BEG U GUYS
(ANY small comment is GREATLY appreciated)..sorry for the long msg:'(

that happened to me too then I finished the numega solution...... by replacing the windows debugger with softice. (Yeah, I had to single step through the config and not allow the debugger to load to get windows to boot, but then I shouldnt have rebooted at that point anyway..... when windows says 'reboot now' don't!!!!!!!

finally i did it!!!
after long tedious hours of praying and breath-holding "TRial n Error" i finally HAVE SOFTICE LOADED!!!!
it seems i had to download some file from
http://www.numega.com/drivercentral/utilfiles/debugger3_13_01.exe ,rename it to debugger.exe and replace the existing "c:\windows\debugger.exe" with it. i also did what was told in this page:- http://www.numega.com/drivercentral/tech_tips/windows-me_6_30_00.shtml .Then another problem appeared ... Whenever i restart or shutdown the screen just turns black with a white blinking _. I knew this was because of the microsoft/numega standard debugger installation cause whenever i uninstalled it the computer would restart or shutdown normally so i tried the loader.exe thingy and no problems there. If someone has the same problems and still doesnt understand what i said feel free to email me..no need to go through all that useless trouble again.
NOW THAT IVE FINALLY LOADED SOFTICE AND I FEEL LIKE A GOD, CAN ANYONE SUGGEST A BEGINNERS PROGRAM TO TRY TO CRACK (TO RECHECK MY EGO).
oh i almost forgot...the above info i got from an earlier post in the TOT Forum posted by someone called DESTRYER97 to someone called GOAT..id like to thank them as well as thank my parents who without their absence i could never have succeeded. I would also like to thank my friends and colleuges who helped me through the last few difficult days..to all i say THANK YOU FROM THE HEART OF MY BOTTOM..THANX GUYS
