Well Just fire up a hex editor and then start modding what you want but you have be carefull because, if you change the wrong values then the app can refuse to work correct

i think you must open your file in a hexeditor, and go! if you dont get it, dont do it....learn by doing.

You should get your self some tools:

Hex editor for example


  • winhex

  • hiew



disassamblers for example


  • softice

  • w32dasm

  • IDA Pro

disassamble the .exe or .dll you want to mod. If it is a nag screen you want 2 remove, search for a posible refernce to the text shown in the nag screen.
go to the first jump to the piece of code that refers to the string and look up the offset. open the .exe or .dll in your hex editor and goto the offset you found and replace the hex data of the jump with 90 (meens it should do nothing) or change a "jump if equal"(je) to a "jump if not equal"(jne).

Tip: study the basics of assambler
remember that the hex editor shows the upcode of the assambler code.
