I already read that thread.
If I use "2nd layer EP" (in .bss segment) for EP, it crashes somewhere before calling the OEP (I can see code that calls OEP in there but it doesnt reach it)
If I use "Origonal EP" (in .text segment) for EP, it crashes on "nop call sub_11CA1B7"

I cant see anything in that thread (or elsewhere) showing how to deal with the crash I get if I use 2nd layer EP (or anything indicating that using Origonal EP and doing manual fixups for all the "nop call" type API things is what I should be doing instead)

Nacho_DJ, if you have a generic unpacker for ActiveMark, it might be that my target is one that works in your packer.
Can you send me the packer (or alternatively unpack the target and send me the unpacked target)? My target doesnt need a CD and only has "enter code" mode (not "trial" mode).

hmmm, mabie because the code hasnt been entered properly, thats why the crashes are happening when I use the "2nd layer EP" of ActiveMedia (the one PeID gave me)
