Hmm, weird. I don't get a prompt for a name with or without debugger attached. DialogBoxParamW returns -1, and the messages recieved by the dialog func are in order 0x30, 0x02 (WM_DESTROY), 0x82 (WM_NCDESTROY). Or I could be missing a massive chunk of anti-debugging code somewhere I guess :/

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.. I've done a little reading, and now I think I am using DialogBoxParam incorrectly.. I pass NULL as the first parameter (HINSTANCE) instead of the actual HINSTANCE value.. btw, I've tried the program on my, and three other computers (one Windows 7, one Vista and two XP's) and the program ran fine.. it is not clear for me yet, why it runs fine on one machine, and why it doesn't on another..
anyway, I'll upload a fixed version soon.. I hope it will solve the problem...

Nope, no good :( think it might just be something screwy with my computer. Still only getting WM_SETFONT, WM_DESTROY, WM_NCDESTROY, in that order. Doesn't even get to INITDIALOG :(

@DaBookshah: I'm sorry to hear that, but I haven't got the slightest idea, what could be the problem..

@simonzack: Is your VGA-card Pixel/Vertex Shader 2.0 capable? The crackme uses PS/VS 2.0.

@andrewl.us: I'm glad, that there is actually somebody, who can run it :)
