Alberto,
I guess you mean changing the OSINFO.DAT file to fit the offsets and other stuff in Vista32.
Did you have any success using this approach ? In other words, were you eventually able to run Soft ICE under Vista32?
Inaki.

It’s been over three years now, but I remember we used to have a problem
running on top of VmWare. I don’t know the nature of it because by the time
it surfaced, I no longer managed that software group. SoftICE sits between
the hardware and the OS, and as such it may compete for hooks and other low
level resources with a software such as VmWare.
If you really want SoftICE to run under 32-bit Vista, you can try to add a
set of Vista directives to the OSI data file. Most of its contents comes
from running Windbg commands on the OS, so, it isn’t as daunting as it
looks.
If you need it to run under 64-bit Vista, one of our guys found a way to
defeat the locking mechanism (“if it is software it can be defeated”, that
was his motto) but, alas, he’s joined the Empire when the DriverStudio
development group collapsed at Compuware.
