Resource Hacker Problem

[Wijono]

I am using Resource Hacker 3.4.0.79.

If I run it under Win98SE, I encounter following problems:

- When I try to replace resource, bitmap etc. for certain files, e.g., BROWSEUI.DLL version 5.50, then Win98SE starts to freeze.

- When I save a modified file, the file date will be changed to today’s date.

Those problem do not come up if I work on a PC running WinXP Professional.

Could someone help to tell me, whether Resource Hacker 3.4.0.79 is not compatible with Win98SE, or something is wrong with my Win98SE?

Thanks a lot!!

I had the same problem, but I couldn't solve it.

There are known freeze problems with Reshacker and certain files. It's never going to be fixed I believe.

You may want to try other resource editors. Maybe XN Resource Editor. It's free.

I had the same problems with Resource Hacker on Windows 98 SE.

Now I'm using Restorator 2006 for PE files and eXeScope for NE files (but they are not free)

You could always use XN Resource Editor which is opensource

but come to think of it i did have some problems editing explorer.exe with reshack

Try Borland Resource Workshop 4.5

I have also noticed problems using Resource Hacker with freshly installed Win98SE OS.

But after installing 98SE2ME, those problems went away.

So I guess ResHaker relies on some DLLs that are replaced by 98SE2ME options 1 + 2. [?]
