@flawless02
what an issue? hehe. NICE app.
on what u did i appreciate and respect ur ryts.
but somethings missing u shud have created an english version
of the CAD of windows 7.
though he just copied and took ideas from ur recent work
he had made a version which is more user-friendly
i mean because most people uses english and it is the universal language for all
countries.
gudluck though.
ReignOfGoth's tactic is somewhat similar to what Bill Gates did to make his Windows.
hehe.
if u know what i mean.

there is a slight problem with ur app.
opening the "task manager" from taskbar (ryt click) brings up the CAD screen
which needs to be just starting the task manager itself.
Flawless
It switched out the taskmgr.exe in registry is why it runs the cad2009.exe..
here is the registry method in my Setup program it switches the taskmgr.exe to run my cad2009.exe
anytime you try to open taskmgr.exe it will run my cad2009.exe if this code is in your registry.
the taskbar menu when you click Task Manager, the shell calls to C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe
There is really no way to bypass that issue. that is why the taskmgr.exe in my CAD 2009 EDITION Folder is named taskmanager.exe <-- using a different name so it doesn't run the cad2009.exe
but a greate way of tweaking your system, and it tricks people pretty well.. on youtube alot of people thought I had vista running.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe", "Debugger", winpath & "\CAD 2009 EDITION\cad2009.exe"

reignofgoth made the english version so he is the one who made this credits to him too
ZComp
why he say component 'pngloader.ocx' or one of its dependecies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid
Flawless
For ZComp it sounds like you don't have GDIPlus installed that's a weird issue, I only had that type of problem running it on vista once, once I installed GDIPlus it worked.
Thats what the pngloader.ocx uses is GDIPLUS and can not find the dependecies for it so try downloading it. Try the link below to see if that works. let me know if it does.
Or try running the cad 2009 edition again press the CTRL + ALT + DEL to see if it found the ocx file sometimes that's a problem too. if it still happens try the link below, and tell me which one works.
