Hi, guys
I am complete newbie (first post here) stuck, like many here, in setting SoftIce 4.27 on my Windows XP + SP1.I saw some advices searching forum, but nothing efficient, at least for me.When I do Ctrl+D it freezes everything, until i hit the combo again.When I first installed Sice it "gave" me a new device in keyboard section (yellow mark in front of it).I've un installed that device and Sice gave me hell disabling my keyboard.I could nothing but to repair my XP and now I have same problem like before, but without strange device (keyboard working properly).I don't even get to see any Sice windows accept Loader 32.It just freezes when I hit Ctrl+D.My startup is empty.I tried starting Sice with different video options, always the same.
My graphic card is Radeon 9100.I saw some advice about getting symbols for ntoskrnl.exe but I always get an error code.Why?In Symbol Retriever in address for Simbol site field stands http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols.
Is this right address?Also I don't have winice.dat file.Should I make it?Where should I put it( give me exact path, please)?
I am starting Sice manually.Please help, really wish to learn cracking.Thanks in advance!

Hi,

This question is one of those that has so many possible answers......
SI gave you ! on your keyboard in the control panel
because it is having problems with the keyboard drivers.

You can try a different keyboard, remove your current keyboard from the control panel/system/hardware devices, plug in the new keyboard and restart to see what happens.

Hi woodmann, thanks for answering, but to be honest with you I don't know hao because whenever I uninnstall the default driver for my keyboard XP installs the same by it's famous automatism (I guess that's the word, sorry for bad english).Some specific advices would help such idiot like me.I' ve noticed another thing which could give somebody idea.I tried to reinstall SoftIce but in config i've disabled all suports.First reboot after installation (or reinstallation, how do you want it) it gives so much desired monochrome window in which I can work.But when I reboot PC and try same thing again I'm stuck like on the beginning.Then I tried again to reinstall and the story goes again: first time OK, after NO.I guess Sice sees I'm a newbee first time I start it and it doesn't want to speak with me anymore.And now you want to tell me that computer can't think!

Hello,
You should find the latest Ds 3.1 instead of Softice 4.27

well esther, do yo know any link for available download?

Time to notice the statement in the title of the Tools of the Trade Forum, which states:

"Do not ask where to get the Tools of our Trade. Do not even think about asking for them."

Those kinds of things you need to do on your own. Searching on the net is a very important skill for would be crackers. If you lack skill in seaching, there is a link at the bottom of the forums for +Fravia's Searchlores, where you can learn how to do it. There is even a "lite" version available with just the debugger.

Regards,

Ok! Sorry for asking stupid question.But there goes anothere one:
Will do the Driver Studio v3.0 Retail +SoftIce 4.27 do the job?

Thanks!

i had the same problem and ds 3.1 solved it.

i have that problem to.. but when i first installed it, it worked but locked up my mouse. and after i rebooted it didn't show up any more..

Thanks for you replies guys, I've downloaded the package I was asking about.It solved that problem, and bring new one.Not stoping in WinMain.I found some patches for it, but these worked only first time after pathing.What should I do?

first sorry for my english. i never used any patch for breaking to winmain cause i never do it. but do you know the diffrence between softice and DS while using BPX? maybe you should first use addr ????

You are right (and you say your english is bad).Everything works fine on DS 3.0.
Thanks for replying!
