npcracker,

I don't want to sound too harsh, but this board's policy clearly states that you should first of all show us what you've tried. This way, people will see where you're stuck and will be able to give hints to get you on track again.

Well, maybe you can begin by browsing the ID-archive (link is at the bottom of this page!). And don't forget to have another look at the faq, link also at bottom of this page ;-)

If this one helps you..

The usual way of removing a nag is..

Trace on.. (F10)from some starting point..
Trace on..

When you execute some call, You can see the Nag popping up..
Nag is shown by the "call"
Breakpoint on the call.. Go iside the call next time.. and so on..

Finally you will find a "call" which is the actual culprit.. ie if the call hadn't been there, the nag would not have been there..
NOP it.. ie replace the call with NOPs by opening the exe in a hexeditor..
--NOPing being the simplest method

OK..
Get ANY tut on nags and proceed on a weak(an old Win3.1 exe perhaps?) target for start..
--Need not have to be a protected exe, remove the about box of an uprotected exe..
I am telling you YOU WILL SUCCEED WITHIN A DAY...

Nag exercices

for those who want to start with some easy and interesting targets, i suggest you :

www.moraff.com (http://www.moraff.com)

this site is full of FREEWARE games, the only annoying thing is a nag screen displayed when you exit the prog that recalls you the time you have played the games.

As a beginning i suggest you bpx createDialogParamA and then look for the windows message handling routine that should not be far...

bye
