Try using Ollydbg. However, with Olly you cannot remove the protections such as Safedisc off of the
exe, but it should be enough for trainer making if you seek to use a debugger to make a trainer. However, I think that there are other tools that are more suited for trainer making than Ollydbg. If you really want to get Softice to run on WinXP I heard that Compuware DriverStudio has a version of Softice that works on WinXP without problems.

Sice is handy for tracing through coding, which makes it handy when making trainers, you may search for values all day, but as you seen with sheep's AOE tutorial he had to trace to find out what happened at other parts of the program to find the encryption op's.

Olly can do it, but ive not had much success with olly that it doesnt like me, but you may have better success and its much better than Sice.

If installing Sice dont let it start up automatically, always manually.

there´s an evaluation copy of Driver.Studio.v3.2 wich includes softice & visual softice. both are winxp compatible.
after the trial period u need to get a license of this FlexLM protected app

Setting Start up to Manual is impossible to open the program, it's always "not active", setting it "when windows start" if I press Ctrl + D the system Crash, the only way i think is Driver Studio, Now i'm not in my home and here i have a bad connection, when i'll come in my home i'll download it, thx all

You can set to manual, then you have to LOAD the engine when you want to use it, then Press CTRL+D.

But you may be using a version that really conflicts with XP.

Problem solved!

There is an XP Patch for the NT version of SoftICE. Search for it, i cannot give a link , but I use it and my SoftICE NT works under WinXP.

i think i may give the file name only: nticexppach

Just make sure you set up the winice.dat! Import all the kernel files at startup or no command will be recognized, sorry you have to do this manually.
After you set up everything it should work fine. You can get additional tutorials for SoftICE online

Happy training!

Extract to C:\

Go inside the folder made and copy or cut then paste the folder to the root of the drive, overwrite the old files there.

This should help woth anyone using Nvidia or some ATI GPU's.
