Well, DriverStudio 1.5 is vintage 1999. Many DS 1.5 licences allow free
migration to 2.0 or to 2.01, so, I don’t see the issue here: it takes one
minute to cget one’s licence number and call our Customer Support people to
check its status vis a vis the upgrade policy. Which is, as I understand,
pretty understanding. But without that licence check, there’s not much I can
do.

Yeah, just cough up $999.00 and softice will start working on your video
card! Excellent solution there Alberto.
Ajay, if you can, get yourself a cheap tnt2 card. I never had any troubles
with nvidia chip sets and softice.

Ajay,
You are running an ancient version of SoftICE. If you upgrade to a current
version, the problem will disappear.

know if it’ll help. SoftICE Build 334 was shipped with DriverStudio 1.5, and
this bug was fixed in DriverStudio 2.0, which is SoftICE build 526. If you
check your license, maybe you’re entitled to an upgrade.
Hope this helps!
Alberto.

Alberto,
SoftIce build number is 334 and SoftICE version is 4.0.5.
I couldn’t get the SIWVID value, at
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/NTICE
so i am unable to set this value.
Following fields have come at
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/NTICE

Ajay,
You must set key SIWVID to zero in the registry, at
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/NTICE
Also, this is an unfortunate legacy issue, but both DriverStudio 1.5 and
DriverStudio 2.0 went out with SoftIce’s version set to 4.0.5. You must look
at the Build number, if you pop into SoftIce and type “ver”, the SoftIce
build number comes up, can you tell me what it is ?
Looks like you’re either running an old copy of SoftIce, prior to the bug
fix, or maybe this Sis card needs some special attention we are so far
unaware of.
Alberto.

One thing ,i wrote wrong in my previous query pls read it again->
I am using SoftICE 4.0.5 on Windows NT 4.0 Checked build,SP5.When I CTRL-D
into SoftICE, in SoftICE startup “manual” mode it is working fine but for
kayboard driver debugging as i changed the SoftICE startup to “Boot” mode
than
restart the syatem then I CTRL-D ,now resoution of softICE become
disturb/unreadable.I can CTRL-D out of SoftICE and return to the OS.what
should i do to get the readable resolution in “boot” mode ?
Regards…

Ajay,
First, did you set SIWVID to 0 ? Also, can you know if by the time you get
the blank screen you’re within Windows or in DOS ? One more thing to try, if
your license allows you, is to download DriverStudio 2.01 and see what
happens. Another thing is, there’s a chance that your video board needs some
special handling that we’re not doing. I’ll try to get one of those video
boards, and see what happens.
Alberto.

Hi, Ajay,
What version of SoftICE are you using ? I believe this has been fixed in
DriverStudio 2.0. You need to make sure, after changing the start values of
Softice, that the start value of SIWVID is set to 0.
Please let me know if this helps, if not, I’ll try to get a Sis6215 card and
do some more investigation.
Alberto.
