No you all.
He's talking about a memory poker.
A memory poker will let you actually scan through the memory that is being used, and change it while it's running.
Under Windows 2000 or Windows XP (NT), you *have* to change some registry bit to a "1". It's something like "Let me friggin write to memory, you bastages" that needs a "1" instead of "0".
Once you do that, you can scan through and "poke" in a value, or "freeze" it to some value.
There's Winhack; and some other shareware ones. Winhack is flaky; it misses sometimes on the scans. I ended up using winhack to edit/freeze the memory, and some other shareware memory scanner to find the value. Winhack is nice though, 'cause you can scan for a byte/word/dword value. Others only let you scan for words or dwords, which doesn't work with older programs or variables that aren't 32bit.
C@lling it like I c it...
