SMSS / USetup.exe

Tried editing my Windows XP source files (the smss and usetup.exe) which controls the non-GUI portion of the install (blue background with white text for formatting drives, etc)

I want to edit some text, but whenever I open it with Resource Hacker, it's fine, however, I get stuck when I edit and COMPILE IT, the software goes "Not Responding" and never comes outta it unless I CTRL+ALT+DEL and stop the process. It only freezes when compiling that one file.

What am I doing wrong?

Thx,

emac

I have the same problem ! plz help !

I had tried to save the resource to *.rc-file & edited it, but when i want to replace it with the old one it takes the same error code.

try using hexeditor

thanks for the fast answer, i'll try it out.

I found another way: you can edited the code/strings with a little shareware called "Resource Tuner" (Link).
