britedream,

I looked over the addresses you said to NOP, and NOPing those did work perfectly. But I have found a different solution that has considerably less NOPing, and appears to work correctly.

I agree with you on NOPing the procedure at 5735EC (PUSH EBX through POP EBX), but I think all the others you listed are unnecessary. Simply NOP the CALLs at 573782 and 57389B, and everything seems to work just fine.

Again, thanks for your help. I would not have found any solution, yours or mine, without your input.
