Hmm dunno if im doing something wrong but it seems the program doesnt shut down properly... If you check in the processes you see its running after shutting it down. It also causes an error if you run the original exe again! :\

@saxon
If the pc is too slow, the proggy may not terminate completely. Is tested on 1,5 Ghz Pentium. What process remains in the list? The error is normal. End the process manually and run again.
@deepblue, where did you patch?!?! I'm not sure you saved your patch and run again.
Did I miss something?

I wouldnt exactly call my Athlon 3200+ "slow". When opening the main executable, it unpacks a second file and opens it, the error consists of the first main-file "hanging" after the second executable is running and even after closing the second executable it still runs.
Ths could be caused by my antivirus which gives me a warning concerning a hidden install (the second file) but im not sure and im not at home right now so im not able to test it :)

Prog keeps crashing on me when I try and fix it. Got rid of the Nag screen though.

@saxon. The main prog is supposed to remain in memory until the second finishes. I'll disclose something: the main prog loops like this:
repeat
sleep(300);
until findwindow(nil,pchar(n))=0;
......
exit;
Where n is the caption of the second exe ('Naggy').
I dodn't see any problem here, sorry..
@deepblue. I didn't read your post, write pm.
@electron, it crashes if u do a wrong or incomplete patch or if pause the normal running (eg debugging)(coz there are some timings inside). Not intended btw.

OOOps, I missed something. Should I upload again? or I will ask some more conditions: Don not change the name of the files! and you will have more fun cracking this.Or I'll upload again and it will be no more 'quite bad'
ok?
