SoftIce kills Mouse

[aldente]

Hello!

SoftIce 4.3 (from the newest DriverSuite) still kills my mouse.

It is a USB Mouse with PS/2 adapter.

When I enable Mouse USB patching (== unchecking "Disable USB Mouse patching") and start softice, it even kills my USB keyboard.

Well, it's a bit hard to work without mouse (and keyboard).

A restart is necessary for getting mouse to work.

System is XP.

What the hell is the problem?

I have the intelli explorer mouse with also PS/2 adapter but i have it sometimes that it hangs but not much.
I have a problem with my keyboard if i hit the F12 button more then twice then the whole system hangs and a restart is neccesary then.And the new version won`t break correctly this version sucks i whas happy because finaly my mouse worked but if it don`t break it is useless.I will install 4.05 again because that version breaks correctly.

This version does break correctly. You just have to set your breakpoints while in the appropriate address context. Read the DS3 not breaking thread for more details.

Is it only me that thinks the new Softice is better than the old one? I prefer SoftIce only breaking when the relevent app is running rather than any process in the system, but everyone else seem to want it to break regardless.

No, I agree with you completely. I don't see why I would want any process other than the one I'm actually trying to debug to break.

Another great thing about the new version is that I can finally use my (USB) mouse in SoftICE again!

I've been playing around with Visual SoftICE a bit... I tried it over null modem serial cable first, way too slow! I tried over ethernet next, much better speed. All in all it's.. interesting... Haven't made up my mind whether I like it or not yet. Anyone else try Visual SI yet?

The problem that i have is that if is set a breakpoint on the desired app and close Ice and try to register the desired prog then normaly ice popup again and set the breakpoint but it doens`t popup anymore but the 4.05 version does that correctly thats the problem i have with the new version and many others to.

But my mouse works with this version

This means that you are doing something wrong, not that there is something wrong with SoftICE. Look in the SoftICE Command Reference at the ATTACH and ADDR commands.

Did you try 4.5?

gorge, there is no 4.5, only 4.05.

since this is even older and does not support xp
natively, i don't expect it to work!

Hi all I am new in this forum, and also a beginner in using SoftICE 4.05, which I use under Win98.

I wonder why I cannot use my mouse in windows as soon as I launch SoftICE. Is it as it should ?

I want to start up a windows program after I've started up softICE, isn't it the way one wporks with it ?

Kindest,

Why would you use SoftICE 4.05? That is a very old version... Use SoftICE Driver Studio 2.7 instead. That is the newest version that will work with Win98.
