I did installed SoftIci401 on my windows 98 2nd Edition. It's work ok, but it also show up when I'm in windows explorer 5.5 reading web pages. I also find the program at shut-down. Contr+D won't shut down SI. My question: How do I prevent SoftIce from loading at start-up in windos 98 program. I just would like to start it myself when I need the program Not having it run in the background all the times. Need some advice, Thanks for now. Herb

hiya,
do you mean just click on si from explorer and it load?, can't be done that way. You don't need to have it start from autoexec.bat though, you can boot to a dos prompt then just go to si folder and type winice.

call me "mr. state the bleeding obvious"

You can edit autoexec.bat to give you the option of starting up Softice on bootup.

Example courtesy of Eternal Bliss:

--------------------------
@echo off
cls
set Winice1=Yes
set Winice2=No
echo Please Specify Whether You Want To Load SoftIce
echo.
echo Press 1 for %Winice1%
echo.
echo Press 2 for %Winice2%
echo.
echo SoftIce will not be loaded if nothing is pressed within 3 seconds
echo.
choice /c:12 /T:2,3 Choose an option
if errorlevel 2 goto NoLo
if errorlevel 1 goto Lo
:Lo
c:\PROGRA~1\NUMEGA\SOFTIC~1\WINICE.EXE
goto end
:NoLo
echo.
echo SoftIce Will Not Be Loaded
:end
