Hi Vox Humana,

Firs of all thanks for your promopt response. Actually I really forgot to mention the dll, becasue there is one exedss.dll that protects the main program, and a WhitenSS.dll that protects another .ocx.

Not very smart name to use for a dll, even though it has the hidden bit on.

The only import in the .exe & .ocx is msvbvm60.dll. That is why I said after disassembling the code that the call to the softsentry protection is within a VB part. Also there are no extra sections in the PE file, just .txt, .data & .rsrc.

What you are sugguesting is cracking the exedss.dll? Because I can't find the jumps to softsentry() within the compiled VB code.

Thanks for your help!
