Softice works fine under XP with SP2. There is no good replacement for it.

Ice is like the perfect girlfriend, once you lose her you'll never find another like her.

And SP3. True, there is no good replacement for it.

Sorry, deroko, forgot to mention SP3. Dumb of me since it was you who told me ice worked fine with SP3. I'm running SP3 and it works fine.

that may be coming if Intel ever cooperates with microsoft to build some of the kernel into the processor. Hard drives use a similar system where the drive bios is shared between the drive BIOS and a special set of sectors on the drive which are inaccessible to an OS. A Russian group got around that using a hardware card the drive plugs into. It uses low level signals to access those hidden sectors.

definatly in my opinion i dont see a alternative like softice what dont depent on much apis and have ring0 rights

the other question is how long softice will "stay alive" its almost pretty dead there not much ppl anymore who use softice small interests is 1 reason what not keep it alive also the dead of winxp will come as microsoft did with 98 then it will be simply sayed : your os is not supported anymore and almost every new user buy windows7 with the computer so not even a "try with softice" happens
also the video card bsod-problem with softice is a reason
