The following is a list of things that make SoftICE video work on
different
configurations of video card and SotICE versions.
Reboot and try again after each step.
1) The correct settings for SoftICE Video (in the SoftICE Display
Adapter
Setup) are Standard Vga with Universal Video Driver box checked. Even
if
your card was detected. At minimum you should run the display adapter a
second time to verify that the correct data was written during testing.
2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Siwvid make
sure
that the entry for start value is set to 0.
3) Some cards do not support the direct draw system. The correct
settings
for these in SoftICE Video (in the SoftICE Display Adapter Setup) are
Standard Vga with Universal Video Driver box NOT checked.
4) Try checking the value the video memory in Symbol Loader | Edit |
SoftICE
Initialization Settings | Video Memory It needs to be set to a value
that
will hold your the contents of your screen. To determine this multiply
the
pixel width * pixel height * pixel depth. Pixel depth is: 256 color =
1.
High color (16 bit = 2, True color 24 or 32 bit = 4). Example: 1024 X
768 @
32 bit = 3145 KB.
5) Make sure the value in
\REGISTRY\Machine\System\ControlSet001\Services\<YourCard>\Device0\Installed
DisplayDriver matches the one in
\REGISTRY\Machine\System\ControlSet\Services\NTice\InstalledDisplayDriver.
6) Using regedit go to
\REGISTRY\Machine\System\ControlSet\Services\NTice
and add the following items.
DWORD DoInt2dPatch 1
DWORD Int2dLocation 0
Reboot TWICE and try again.
7) Using regedit go to
\REGISTRY\Machine\System\ControlSet\Services\NTice
and add the following item. Then try the values specified below and
reboot.
DWORD IsInt2dRVA 1
8) Try a value of 0xe422d in the Int2dLocation location (Normally
works on
XP SP0).
9) Try a value of 0x88920 in the Int2dLocation location (Normally
works on
XP SP1).
10) Try a value of 0xbe67c in the Int2dLocation location (Normally
works on
Win 2K SP3).
11) For W2k sp4, remove the IsInt2dRVA value altogether and change the
Int2dLocation value to 0x804c2b95.
12) For W2k server sp4, remove the IsInt2dRVA value altogether and
change
the Int2dLocation value to 0x804cE030.
13) Do the Int2dLocation location patch manually.
Remove value for IsInt2dRVA if it exists.
Set value for DoInt2dPatch to 1.
Set value for Int2dLocation to 0.
Go to start->programs->driverStudio->Debug->Symbol Retriever. Use add
to add
ntoskrnl. Check load symbols into softice. Get symbols. Open a command
prompt and hit alt-enter. Then hit ctrl-d. You should be in softice.
Once in
softice type "s MmLoadSystemImage L d88 85,c0,0f,84" You should see a
matched pattern at..... You need the address from that matching. For
example
8059064D. Write that down. Open regedit and got to
\REGISTRY\Machine\System\ControlSet\Services\NTice
Set value for Int2dLocation to that matched address.
If none of these items work please send the following information:
1) The export reg file for the
\REGISTRY\Machine\System\ControlSet\Services\NTice
2) The export reg file for the
\REGISTRY\Machine\System\ControlSet\Services\SiwVid
3) run msinfo32.exe and send the resulting nfo file.
4) Send a copy of WINICE.DAT under winnt\system32\drivers
5) Add "/bootlog /SOS" options in \BOOT.INI, reboot, send
winnt\NTBTLOG.TXT
to us.
6) Set SoftICE to start at boot mode, reboot. Run symbol loader
immediately
after Windows is up. Go to file ->save softice history and send that
