, but I asked a link to make sure the version he was referring to, because there are different types of res hacker utilities. Anyway, I tried what he suggested and I confirm that the trick works except that Plus! does not work as it thinks that v8 is installed.
ski 7.5, yes, we're using win2000 compatibility mode to override the issue, but it is only a temporary/imperfect solution.
