There's something strange happening and i can even reproduce it. Maybe you could take a look.
First i set the target program.
Secondly i set the Scan type to Text and search for what i'm searching for and add it to the list.
Then i chose find what reads from this address. It tells me that it'll attach the debugger to the process, i confirm. I chose the one i want to replace, click on it and then on replace. It will ask for a name for this value, i click okay. I click on the X and then i cannot access buttons on the main CE anymore. If i click "stop" and then close it works. Maybe the X button should stop and close it so that it'll work properly?

I've heard of this before, and thought I already put in a stop on close. But perhaps I missed a spot.

Where you using debug registers or access violations? (in the settings)

I was using debug registers.
edit: and oh yeah just to mention it properly, the "close" button does not become available until i click stop, but the X button can be used to close. If closed with X button it will result in the problem. Maybe disabling the X button could also work? Razz

Or maybe the line : do not click X click on stop and then close would be enough. Or maybe really take a look why it's not fine yet. Smile

Fixed it. I DID put in code that would close on exit. The problem was that CE didn't know the window was closed.
