Hi all

I have a little problem with Soft Ice. I have just started one of the Sandman’s tutorials on how to reverse a util called “StartClean”. In the tut it says set a BPX breakpoint on “getdlgitemtexta”. However when I set it by typing: bpx getdlgitemtexta, I get the error message: symbol not defined (GETDLGITEMTEXTA).

Why does this keep on happening whenever I try to set the breakpoint? Is it something to do with the Symbol Loader that comes with Soft Ice, or the config file. I cannot understand this, according to Sandman’s tut I should be able to set this breakpoint!

Any help here will be greatly appreciated – I want some hair left!

Regards

Hexon

You can either load User32.dll from the symbol loader (use the load exports button), or look in your winice.dat, and uncomment user32.dll, and thus enabling it to load everytime SoftIce loads

Hi
Go to the +Sandman's page, url below.
http://www.idca.com/~thesandman/Softice.html

There is some basic settings you need to do in this file before you start using break points and some other things like references to VB run time files.. (if you want reverse VB programs)

If you have problem to set it up, try to ask some one to e-mail you the file...
