I use windows me and softice 405.I have
problems when i set breakpoints (like getwindowstexta or getlocaltime).When i want to get out from softice appear a message like: " break due to bpxuser32!Get
WindowTextA", and i have to disable or
clear the breakpoint to get out.It doesnt occurs with others breakpoints(like getwindowtextw).What is happening?

is there such thing as GetWindowTextW? I've never heard of GetWindowTextW, but GetWindowTextA
is a very common api specially for textbox and things like that. I think sice brings you in due to
bpx user32!GetWindowTextA. It could be that your target is processing that api as soon as you
get off sice (and the your target has control).

anyway, that's just my guess. (i don't have sice installed...)

softice is kinda difficult to use. i can't get it to work with bpx getdlgitemtexta at all. i use bpx and a line number (real newbie) to break exe.

remember:

BL: list you breakpoints
BC: clear your breakpoint

you want a step by step guide? ok.

start the sice's symbol loader. open your program. in module settings > debugging make sure "stop at winmain" is selected. go into ws32dasm and find the line # that you want to break. click on the load button in symbol loader. (3 gears). now, type BPX (linenumber)

done and done.
