Driver Studio 3.2 hang-up on WinXP

[JMI]

Remember that the FTP also has the

"Compuware_DevPartner64_v1.0.1_iNTERNAL-PARADOX"

release, which might have something for these issues.

See:

@MarkusO:
Don't request anybody to download it for you or you might run into trouble with JMI denying you to step up into the next usergroup for some weeks. Just be a bit more active in the forums and you will get FTP access. Or you could try to catch it on some filesharing networks.

I havent had success installing Devparter64 due to missing serial number for installation. Anyway, it looks an older version than DS3.2, isnt it? So, I guess that DS3.2 is more compatible with newest Windows.

If anyone success installing DevPartner64, just drop a line

NOT having FTP access is no excuse. That's why the Diety invented internet search engines. That program is out there is several places, including the one where the rest of them were uploaded from and an alternative location for obtaining DS 3.2 has already been posted here and that source also has the DevPartner version as well.

Regards,

I installed new ICEEXT 0.66 with DS 3.2 support and it told me that some value in registry was wrong with SoftICE and if it should correct it and I said yes and now SoftICE starts without hanging up.

But now when I enter "net start iceext" at command line to start ICEEXT it tells me a "system error 1450" with a message that I don't have enough system resources to execute the service. this also happens when I enter this and SoftICE is not alraedy loaded. Then it loads SoftICE but for ICEEXT it gives me same error message (not ICEEXT message but Windows messge). But all my memory is free so this can't be. Has anybody seen this alraedy is is this also a problem of SP1 with all updates?

Just to make it more clear (this info is posted in all 3 threads):

If you have the latest Windows Updates installed (as of 24.02.05, MS05-15 is the latest), DriverStudio 3.1 or SoftICE 4.3.1 will WORK if you use the previous version of the NTOSKRNL.EXE, version 5.1.2600.1568 from 17.06.2004.

The update which is causing the problem is KB885835 which comes with a new NTOSKRNL.EXE, version 5.1.2600.1605 from 22.10.2004, and it seems that, for the moment, as of 24.02.2005, the OSINFO.DAT from Compuware's web site does not work with this NTOSKRNL.EXE.

You can find the old version in this directory: C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB885835$
(replace C:\WINDOWS with your actual path).

So, copy this NTOSKRNL.EXE to OLD_KRNL.EXE and add this line to your BOOT.INI:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional DS 3.1" /fastdetect /noguiboot /KERNEL=OLD_KRNL.EXE

Then just restart and whenever you want to run DS 3.1, just select the proper configuration
befre you start Windows.
:-)

@MarkusO:
The BreakInSharedMods variable is no longer used in DriverStudio 3.2. I installed the new version a few minutes ago on Win2K and when setting breakpoints they break in all processes, without having to use the ATTACH or ADDR command any longer.

<Edit>
I also tried to install IceExt 0.66, but it doesn't load, even if it is the version especially build for DriverStudio 3.2. I'm getting an error message from NET.EXE when trying to load IceExt, which tries to convince me that I'm out of system resources, even if it runs as stable as with DriverStudio 3.1 and IceExt 0.65 and with the same KDE settings. You don't accidently have your problems only with IceExt installed, do you?
</Edit>

<Edit2>
Your post wasn't yet moderated when I posted this, so yes, I'm also having problems with IceExt 0.66 with the same error message when trying to start the service.

@leosmi05:
You should better delete your other responses. You posted your last reply in three different threads. If JMI finds out, he will tell you some not very nice sounding words in bold letters (or take care of you in a different way), since all people below 15 posts are watched very closely on what they post. Posting three times exacly the same message doesn't qualify as "useful" post.

don't remember exactly which steps i took to make Driver studio 3.1 load without freezing or similar problem.. ididn't like the new command for breakpoint because i'm familiar with SICE 4.05 so decided to uninstall and got 3.2 .. running but i have similar problem as Markuso .. after loading i could do Ctrl+D and SICE loads but Windows is freezed.. happends with manual and booting with windows will not let it load it...so far i remember i didn't edit any boot.ini or anything and 3.1 was loading fine.. now again i'm having trouble with this new version.. running SP1a with all latest updats except Sp2.. Pemtium 3 at 600 mhz, Intel board, 512 MB SDram, ATI Range 128 PRO (32 MB AGP)

so far i see NTice is looping on an infinitive loop (EBFE) . why ?

My boot.ini:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=C:\
[operating systems]
C:\="Microsoft Windows 98 SE" /noguiboot
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /noguiboot

attached Winice.dat

any ideas?

@Crk:
Did you already read this whole thread? Do you have a error with hooking "MiCopyOnWrite"? Are you using IceExt? Did you try to replace your KERNEL with the old version? Did you already try /NoPAE and /NoExecute=AlwaysOff switches? How does your hang-up differ from the ideas posted here already?

I got it now, but this is for IA64 CPUs (Itanium), not for x86_64 CPUs (AMD64/EM64T). So it can't help here.
