Frame 6 crashes on WinXP with edited fmdlg.dll file
Hi folks Just posting this in case anyone else has had the same problem. I received a new PC late last year and had to reinstall all my software, updates, patches, etc. I also changed at this time from Win2k to WinXP. I duly installed Frame 6, plus the updates for 405 and XP, plus my own customisations (keyboard shortcuts, maker.ini, plug-ins, etc). All was well until last week when I tried to open a Frame file with missing referenced graphics. I selected to skip the graphics, and Frame crashed. To cut a long story short, I uninstalled Frame, then reinstalled it, making sure I did install the 405 and XP patches, then installed my customisations. I then tried to open the same file and got the same result - Frame crashed. At this point I remembered that after the first crash, I thought I might have forgotten to install the XP patch after I got the new PC. At that point I tried installing it again, and it came up with an error about a file not being as expected. I was pretty sure the file it mentioned was fmdlg.dll, so I then suspected that the crash might have happened because I have edited fmdlg.dll to increase the size of some dialogue boxes (using Resource Hacker). I replaced my edited fmdlg.dll file with the original file and opened the Frame file with missing graphics again. I chose to skip the missing files and it opened with no problems. I went back to my edited fmdlg.dll file and Frame crashed. I've chosen to keep my edited fmdlg.dll file as the expanded dialogue boxes are very useful. But now I know I can change back to the original if I need to open a file with missing graphics. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or know of a way around it? Is it fixed in Frame 7? I presume not many people have hacked around with the fmdlg.dll file, so I may be the only person to come across this problem?
