Ok I am new. So new I have done nothing but try to get all my tools in order. How do I get softice to work with XP? or, is there something I should use instead? All the tutorial and such are from the 90's and early 2000's so I am not sure what is the most up to date.

than you

My advice - for now go with ollydbg - we even have a separate area for discussing this fine tool, Sice's day has come and gone - if you want to explore a ring0 debugger then get windbg - free M$ download, but follow the advice posted elsewhere on this forum - if you are beginning choose olly - think about the others later. If you want to explore using Sice then search this forum RE: your problems using it with XP.

Just IMHO,

I suggest you to read the FAQ (as you should do before posting)
There is an entire section about SoftIce and XP.

regards.

Right on thanks guys.

Or better, dump Ollydbg (no flames guys! ) and start learning WinDbg. WinDBG is going to be around when Vista comes out. Olly is doubtful.
