hey all,

when I try to edit (using F3) it keeps saying me something like "sharing violation (r)etry (a)bort" when I press retry, the same window pops up again,

now I tried different versions of hiew, and all were the same, so what am I doing wrong, and even with beginner CRACK-ME tuts I'm having this :s

plz help me

an easy guess: is your file read-only or in use in another application?

Typically your file is running, or is open by W32dsm.
Make a copy of the file with a different name: MyFileCRK.exe (which you should always do anyway, in case you screw up) and HIEW edit the copy, while you are working on the dissasembled file.

that was it, the file was open in w32dasm :s how stupid can you be *g* thx guyz

I can only speak for me, but I think we all have had that problem when we are learning to crack for the first few times. . .
