^eMpTy^ Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I made a new background just fine with photoshop and resbuild. But now my text seems to get cut off short, like about after the first paragraph. Any idea why that would happen? I made no attempt to edit the text.Also, is there a way to control the resolution at which this screen shows up?-eMpTy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

^eMpTy^ Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 I'm at my home computer and I can't get you a screenshot since I'm doing this project from work...It's really simple, the text just stops. Right in mid-word. It happens right around the end of the fourth line on every page.All I've done is replace the image with resedit or whatever. The moment I change the image, the text gets cut off...I can see it in resedit as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

^eMpTy^ Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 Here's the screenshot.Like I said, I'm not doing anything wierd, I followed the guide to the letter, and the propaganda got cut off...I figured it would be a common problem but I guess not.Here's what I did step-by-step.Opened winntbbu.dll from my xpcd\i386 directory with resedit. Selected bitmap003. Hit the replace button. Selected my new image. Hit the save button. Clicked "Yes" when prompted to save the file back to its original location. As soon as I clicked yes, I went to the strings section and the text had visibly changed from arial to courier, and the text had been cut off. Using JCarle's program, I confirmed that the text had been corrupted.Thanks for taking a look at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

^eMpTy^ Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 Well I realize that it's corrupted...I'm just wondering WHY it's corrupted...as an interim solution I followed the instructions to just delete the text altogether...I would like the text to be there because I'm trying to keep the installation as professional-looking as possible...Here's my winntbbu.dl_Anyone have any idea why it would do this? Has everyone that changed the background also deleted the text as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 as professional? huh? i dont think so.its corrupted alrighthere is what u need to doget your original winntbbu.dl_remember the guide tells u to make a backupfollow the steps againsee if the file gets corrupted again.honestly one other time i hv seen this error it was a guy from taiwan.he edited the text himself.-----------------------alternative solutionresedit your original winntbbu.dlllook if the text string is corruptedgarbage in garbage outif it is not just save the whole stringopen your modified winntbbu.dllreplace it with the save text string.
