I ran all the way through this program but having very little free time could not engage in the exercize. The only peculiar thing or difficulty was with a keygen patch. Used SoftICE to change the code on the fly and traced it until went into deep Windoze. It was good, sure. Yet somehow the box had no serial but a single OK button. Having no time to screw around for too long, I was thinking about overwriting the original text with the serial, just like you did. That certainly comes up in the damned msgbox. I've checked other ways as well - and there is indeed a simple one. I mean there's no need to jump sideway from the flow of execution to copy over the serial, it is enough to change some bytes along the road.
It was too obvious, that's why hard to see first. I wait for last session before posting details, guessing that part 4 is for stuff like that. Fine, that gives me some time to find those screendumps and make some comments on them.BTW, great exercize. Good to see so many newbies tackled confidently the essentials and much more.
