Yes, I think you're right. It may be that I confused the image base on exes vs dlls. I honestly don't remember. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms680339(VS.85).aspx "ImageBase The preferred address of the first byte of the image when it is loaded in memory. This value is a multiple of 64K bytes. The default value for DLLs is 0x10000000. The default value for applications is 0x00400000, except on Windows CE where it is 0x00010000." -- Pedro Alves ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Cegcc-devel mailing list Cegcc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cegcc-devel
