Cheat Engine

Seems like I posted this before but I couldn't find it.

using Cheat Engine 5.4, same problem with previous versions.

Main Problem:

When ever I try to open a process that ends with zero I get an error message "Error while opening this process". The only way around this is to close the program/game and reopen it to get a different PID that doesn't end with zero.

Other Problem:

If I manually enter an address that ends with zero it gives me that address -0x10.
Example:
I add the address 012A7750 and it gives me 012A7740. The only way to get around this is to add the address 012A7760 which will give me 012A7750.

When I first found this problem I was using Win98se don't remember which version CE I noticed it on but I've installed a new harddrive with a fresh install of WinXPsp2 and the problems persist.

If anyone know anything that could possibly be creating this problem please let me know.

thanks for reading.

pid ending with 0: Can't reproduce. Make sure you don't have a rootkit/virus installed that blocks those.

When adding an address, do NOT type -10 at the end. Doing so will calculate it to the given address-10

And make sure that the title of Cheat Engine says "Cheat Engine" and not something like "dave's engine" , "Crappy engine" , "buffy engine" or any other uce.

Have you tried different keyboard ?

Also, what language is your windows version ?

Different keyboard was just a guess, perhaps your keyboard adds some kind of invisible characters that when parsed make up a -10 (but really can't see why or what those are without you seeing them)

Other hardware problem could be that your cpu just can't count. But then I doubt windows would even have started.

Do you use some kind of anti virus or other security program you install by default without even thinking about it ? (so it also got installed on that fresh xp install)

I guess I'll just let this topic fade into the forum.
I'll be building a new PC soon and that will take care of my problem. I just hate not being able to figure this out, I usually can figure out most PC problems.
If I find a solution before I get rid of this computer I'll post it somewhere on the forum.
