ColinJeffTue Dec 8 19:37:17 1998 Notice before you enter your username and reg code you have to delete the two UNREGISTERED USER entries. I just had a bright idea UNREGISTERED USER is 16 characters long (without the space)that might be why the maximum character LENGTH is 17 or above. I also noticed when searching for my username I came upon a place where this is permanently stored and when you enter your name and code that it overwrites COLINISTERED USER. Another thing I successfully set breakpoints on the following RegOpenKeyEx and RegQueryValueExA. If there are more than instance of these just Ctl-D and SoftIce will break to the next instance. Thanks for the tip on short user names.Cop U LaterColin Colin; YEP! You got it... by jeff , Tue Dec 8 20:05
