How do I configure SoftICE ?
After SoftICE has been installed, there are a few ways in which you need to, or might want to configure it. The default options are pretty poor. First of all, in order to set breakpoints on API, you need to have the symbols for the corresponding modules loaded into SoftICE. You can either run Symbol Loader and load the modules manually. This saves having to reboot, but only loads the symbols for the duration of the current windows session. A better idea is to modify your winice.dat, so that commonly used symbols are loaded by default. Thankfully, those nice guys at numega already place a decent set of symbols to load into the winice.dat, only they are commented out. To uncomment these, open winice.dat in any text editor.
