hi all,

i've downloaded (and installed) softice v4.05NT.
when i try to start it under XP it doesn't do anything (somehow the ntice service isn't created), although i also copied the .sys files from the XP patch to the windows\system32\drivers directory.

then i decided to install it on my win2k system. well this seems to work, when i press <ctrl>+D softice pops up. but when i set a breakpoint to getlocaltime like this: [color=red]bpx getlocaltime[/code] and i then fire up the system clock, or some other program that calls this function, softice won't pop up. also when i then manually let it pop up using the <ctrl>+D command and i press F12 to step the window disappears right away!

i've written several softice tutorials and command references, i've also changed the settings as it was suggested by one of those tutorials, but that doesn't help.

so i'm pretty stuck now!

i hope someone can tell me what i have done wrong, since i really want to continue using the book i recently bought "hacker disassembling uncovered" since i want to learn how to crack my own programs in order to create a more secure program myself and i'm also very interested in Reverse Engineering, and almost every tutorial/book about these subjects use Softice.

i also have a copy of ollydbg, w32dasm and pe explorer, but it still isn't the same as Sice.


thanks in advance,

Scorpius

mate... exactly same problem here in my winxp sp2!??? NAY SOLUTIONS YET........ i tried asking in other discussion forums as well, but with no luck!

yes, me too... i got it to work in 2k but not as it suppose to

although i have found some other things to try for XP, just google for softice and XP, and you'll find a lot of links on changing winice.dat or copying some other dat file...

but even if i got it to work on XP, it will then do the same as on 2k i guess, and that still isn't as it suppose to be ...

whats that... IDA ??? holy thats 29 mb and i unwillingly dl it with my dialup.

no, not IDA, just other things to try to get Softice to work for XP...

I tried everything i could to make softice work on xp but with no luuck. ANY SOLUTIONs??? let me know! If ever, you get a solution, PM me please.

man, share your links that you have.......... that you think may be useful to all of US, good cracme's (ofcource with solutions) tutors etc...........

crackits are at my site, and the biggest link i can give you about ASM:
www.freeprogrammingresources.com

also the book "Hacker disassembling uncovered" is very useful

haven't found a solution yet, so now i'm trying out PE explorer, perhaps this is a nice substitution for Sice.

wow! one of the best information junction that i've hit lately..... PLAIN, SIMPLE &great. (O;

sorry man, I can't help you.

OK, Softice Will NOT run on windowsXP NATURALLY! There is a problem with the coding or somehting. Anyways, there is a patch for it that I have lying around somewhere that I will post a link to here in a little while when I find it again. But that is the answer to getting it to work on WindowsXp.

OK here is something else you will want to know. It has to deal with Softice Runing on WindowsXP SP1. You need to read this page, and follow the instructions too:



Here is where you can get the patch for XP for Softice 4.05



Enjoy!

Try Compuware Softice Driver suite, it should work on winXp too

well, it doesn't work

i've copied the driver files to the c:\windows\system32\drivers\ directory, i also copied the osinfo.dat file to the same directory, i've installed Sice 4.05NT, but when i try to start it, it still hasn't made a service, meaning the batch file to start sice to run "net start ntice"doesn't work, since the ntice service isn't recognized.

got a download link too? cause all i can find is a purchase form ,but i want to test it first, before i'm planning on buying it

nope, but it should be on some p2p net, try to search

i thought about that, but i do not like getting it illegally, so i just have to find another way

EH LEPRICAUN YOU ARE ALREADY GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION.

it is nice that you've joined the forums, but if you do not have anything useful to say, then don't say anything at all

oh yeah, and don't use caps in your post, it is very rude!.

There is no human out there.. without mistakes...
Some have done little ones.. some big ones...
but then again what's your problem?

i know, it's too late to answer, but I had a similar problem. The solution is to put a "w" at the end. for example: "bpx getlocaltimew" or "bpx messageboxw". I don't know why, but it worked by me, when testing softice with WinXP, which I could run in 640x480 and 16 colors, not beyond.

i've just obtained me a copy of win98, i will install it and run sice from there. i gave up trying to use softice on XP, i've switched to windbg and ollydbg for reversing on XP.
