 Forums >>  Brainstorms - General  >>  SoftICE or alternatives?

Topic created on: August 23, 2008 20:17 CDT by noglorp .

What do you think. SoftICE is abandonware now. Would you recommend still using SoftICE, or using an alternative? What alternative would you recommend? (Syser, RR0D?)

Thanks,
~nog_lorp

not really those clever people over at sysinternals (now swallowed up by microsoft) has created a utility for this problem. WinDbg lets you do user mode debugging without this utility but if you want to look what is going on in kernel Land you need to use LiveKD found at http://technet.microsoft.com/enus/sysinternals/bb897415.aspx

Install the winNT on virtual machine and use softice!!! But for WIn2k3 and XP I dont know the good alternative for softice!!

May be WinDBG but I not use it....

WinDbg is my favorite since Softice.

I am still able to use good old sice on WinXP SP3 without issues, no doubt, but WinDbg kicks ass on VMWARE!

it makes driver debugging is a breeze.

My OS fall down in a BSOD))
