I had trouble running softice on Win ME at first (installed it over and over various times -- using lots of different "patches" and what not).

I then decided to try one more *which worked*. I'm using the winme loader over at the ice dump page (by the "downloads" [wmldr05.zip]) -- _hxxp://icedump.tsx.org_.

I think it's worth a shot, I mean, I had just about given up on sice. Well, if ithat doesn't work -- there are other debuggers

Good luck.
