ok, am complete n00b lol, i know bits an peices of a few programing languages, so i thought i would try this,

in the tutorial im followin, it says : Type s 0 l ffffffff 'your_serial' in Softice , when i do it, it says symbol not defined (o) , i had same prob with getdlgitemtexta but i fixed that in the winice.dat. any help to fix this prob is much apreciated!

I think it is 0, as in number 0 not the letter "o"...

Read the soft ice manual for more information!

na i tried a zero , but u just get syntax error, lookin thru manual, not much help!

***** EDIT ******

ok all sorted now

You got me confused with "another" Death .....

Anyways, there is no reason why this command should not work.

The command really is:

S 0 L FFFFFFFF "12121212"

Here, 0 = the number 0 and not the letter O...... and I am assuming you entered "12121212" as your serial...

If you do get an error, try this:

S 0:0 L FFFFFFFF "12121212"

If that also does not work, try this:

S 30:0 L FFFFFFFF "12121212"

and

S 28:0 L FFFFFFFF "12121212"

If that also does not work, they you have a problem in the version of softice. You need to tell:

1. Which version of ICE
2. Which Windows platform

Note: If you have got the ICE from warez sources (most likely, you would!!), then some far-off warez servers are not good for that as they contain corrupted ICE. For all you know, it could cause these problems, or worse, install a backdoor in your machine.
