Softice 3.24 G @SS:ESP Command Problem
Saturday, 09-Jan-99 17:02:01

I've posted this problem on Eternal Bliss's board and received tons of help. Unfortunately nothing worked.

System: PII 450 Mhz, 256 M ram.
SoftIce version: 3.24

I'm not going to list my DAT file this time because it has been gone over with a fine tooth comb and pronounced clean by some very qualified people. If you think you can help and want to see the file, let me know. I'll post it.

Here's the problem (it occurs every time):
I dld a crackme or some project that has an associated tutorial. I start the crackme, enter a S/N, Ctrl-D into SiCe, set the correct breakpoint (BPX HMEMCPY or whatever), F5, Hit enter, Sice pops, disable BP, hit F11 (I've also typed G SS:ESP from the command line). All of this is from a tutorial. When I hit F11 (or use command line) instead of SiCe going to the calling function for the breakpoint, it pops me out to the "wrong serial number loser" window and leaves SiCe. I'm supposed to F10 and F12 my way around from the call but I never get the chance.

At first I thought the programmer had written somehing in to cause SS:ESP to be changed somehow. But then I started using crackme's with tutorials and they all did the same thing. Anytime I'm supposed to use F11 I get dumped out.

Has anyone experienced and subsequently fixed this problem?
