Hi,

Im running w2000 Advanced Server with SoftICE 4.05, with a Guillemot GEForce 256 gfx card.

Using nvidea reference drivers, with Universal mode in s'ice, the softice console window will not paint at all.

Numega's knowledge base turns out nothing useful for this. Has anyone else had/solved this problem ?

Thanks.

hmm, kinda not surprised ;P. no i haven't solved the issue (yet), but it appears that ntice/siwvid somehow lose track of the linear frame buffer address and they write to the wrong place. you can test this theory by entering ntice via the hotkey, then issue some (not too destructive) commands and exit it. then dump the command history to a file and you should see all those commands. i'm only guessing at this moment that NT may have the habit to remap the frame buffer in linear address space (for whatever reason) and ntice fails to catch this. if anyone has more experience with ddraw and video display drivers, could you please look into this and report the results?
