Setting up SoftICE


To set up SoftICE, open your WINICE.DAT and remove the semi-colons from the librarys on which functions you need to set Breakpoints. These will mostly be ADVAPI32.DLL, KERNEL32.DLL and USER32.DLL.

At the The +Sandman's Site, there is a complete overview of what you setting up SoftICE ... so before crying for help, go there!
