Re: Problem using Sice with win98!!!

I've seen that problem before. It is related to video drivers. Anyway, the "solution" is to reinstall SoftICE __FRESH__. Note that the Deinstall routine most often leaves junk behind making the reinstallation fail.
IOW, Don't try to save even your old Winice.Dat. You can later bring it back from a backup. Also, and _most_ important, it seems that the problem is rooted in the "Universal Device Mode" or something like that, when you reinstall, make sure that this UDM thing is _NOT_ installed, that is chose the video driver for your video card (chip specific). Let the reinstallation proceed.
I had to this 3 times before if finally worked on the updated Win98 machine. Installing everything "clean", that is clean Window 98 on clean hard drive + installation of SoftICE afterwards, worked _provided_ that UDM was excluded.
HTH
