For all of those who don't know SoftIce is a kernel debugger. It's much more powerful than the debuggers that come with memory searchers like Code Engine or T-Search. It's more flexible if you want to check registers or whatever. It also enables you to put breakpoints on APIs which is very useful not only for making trainers. If you don't know how to use the standard T-Search debugger (or similar) SoftIce isn't something for you yet. If you modify the wrong code/registers it's possible your computer will get messed up.
All versions of SoftIce work great on Windows 98, but when it comes to XP "only" DS 3.0 and above work quite well. There are people who say they run DS 2.7 without probs but the majority fail to do so. If you use Service Packs 1 and 2 3.0/3.1 "won't" work though (again some people manage to run SP 1 & 2 without probs with DS 3.1). So therefore I'm going to submit a few pieces of information, which should point you in the right direction to get it running (again).
If you're ABLE to start SoftIce but get no response on your breakpoints, try adding " set breakinsharedmods on " in your Driver Studio settings (Softice Initialization->General). Try setting a breakpoint on something like getdlgitem or MessageBoxA and see if softice pops when you open up a "dialog". If it does you're probably finished. If it doesn't or if your computer + softice FREEZES or something similar click on the links below:

DS 3.2 should be working on all SPs as well as Longhorn and 64bit Windows.
