HELP!! Street Atlas 2004 Plus - Removing 'Nag'

[Jonathan1270]

I am new to this and really could use some help....
I bought 'yes I actually paid for' Street Atlas 2004 plus. I have all of the original CD's, and before I bought it they failed to tell me about the restrictions on my software. I Am Pissed! There is a 1,000 download limit from my phone directory. I can only view and save up to 1,000 phone records at one time and when I try to view more than 1,000 a 'No Nag' appears telling me I can only view and/or add 1,000 records at a time. How do I change this figure to 'No Limits'
Please advise... If anyone can help it would be enormously appreciated.

there are about a million ways to implement a restriction such as the one you describe.
rather than trying to guess which method they've used, i would suggest digging into the code.

starting backwards, find the code that generates the nag, only from there can you see why it generates it.

windows api functions that are commonly used with nag screens:

MessageBox
DialogBoxParam

a little less commonly used, depending on the circumstances:

CreateDialogParam
RegisterClass/CreateWindow/ShowWindow

remember that these functions come in plain, wide-char and extended versions.
good luck!
