Does anyone know of a windows 2000 compatible debugger? W32dasm's debugger works fine under 98, but exits randomly under 2k.

I can't get Softice to work on my new ati radeon, so is there anything else that can set breakpoints reliably under this os?

Whats the Problem ???
Does it install, but doesn't pop up ???
Please more info !

The problem you are having is the same thing that I was having. I have contacted the developers and they have told me that there is nothing being done at the moment.

I am now using a debugger called OLLYDBG. Get it from www.suddendischange.com.

Squidge I have "kind of" the same problem with SoftIce and my Win2k system.

The crazy thing was that SoftIce didn't pop-up when I loaded the program with the Symbol loader.

The way I manage to "break" on the "dongle protected" program (that would only work on a Win2k system) was by adding a CC in the part of the program that I knew it would run.

Set in SoftIce a BPINT 3 and start the program that you like to break on. When SoftIce pop's up, MAKE SURE you change the CC back to what it was BEFORE you pas the CC, and set the new break points.

I know it's a strange way of doing it, but for me it was the only way to break on it.

Re: W32dasm. I've got the same problem here on my Win2k OS.

PS. The program is now running fine without the Rainbow dongle.

Installs fine, CTRL-D works, but doesn't popup. Can't use any of the normal shortcut keys to bring window into view. (CTRL-D does kinda lockup the system, so I assume Softice is running somewhere, and you can use the commands to get back to 2k, so it's just missing a window). It's setup to use a window on the desktop.

I have a similar problem with Win2k and softice 4.05 for Nt/2k. Similarly CTRL-D freezes the program, but the window doesn't pop up because if I hit G (return to windows) the mouse comes back. I installed a May 2000 Softice build and had the exact problem you refer to. I'm using win2k build 2195. Previously I had a 4.05 version built in Oct 2000 but the keyboard response after loading softice was very, very slow. I tried all of the .sys keyboard files on the softice support FTP site but nothing worked properly. None the less, the Oct version froze the program and gave me the debug window, but had to reboot to get keyboard back.

Have lost the Oct 4.05 build and can't find an updated version.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Try using the softice from Driverstudio 2.01 with Win2k and nvidia vid-cards... It's working great for me I must say, finally the problems I used to have (the same u are describing now) are gone...

I'm using the detonator 7.52 drivers myself... but newer ones should work just fine as well (Win2k SP1).

Take care,
