---------------------------------------------------------------------delete this Jason------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dearest Jason: Greetings once again! I noticed the Netzero crack you have on the uploads page and it is nice! BUT.....I'm an avid programmer and I am always in search of a better, more conveniant way of doing something, as such as in the ways of the ol' bbs's. ( I'm 21, but I do remember 'em slightly.) So...... here you go. the BEST way of cracking netzero, as of july 26 2000. straight up. Peace, c0de-kid ------------------------------------------------------------- -------delete this Jason-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cracking Netzero By: c0de-kid DISCLAIMER : Blah blah the usual.

If you use NetZero, click on their banner ads to support them. Free Internet access is great, don't abuse it. Get their stuff at http://www.netzero.com INTRODUCTION: ============= What up. So you like free PPP access? Well, there are some great programs out there that offer free dialup access at the expense of showing you annoying banner ads on your screen that may even remain visible during graphics such as playign a nice game of StarCraft - which you can not do while using NetZero (one of these dialup services) since their banner interferes with the game. The banner doesn't only take up space on your screen, but also takes up bandwidth and can lag you. THE CRACK: ========== A basic knowledge of dos comands is helpful, but in all reality if you HONESTLY can't do it, e-mail me (boyDJ@angelfire.com) It's Very simple. 1) GO INTO MS-DOS 2) GO INTO THE DIRECTORY NETZERO CD C:\PROGRA~1\NETZERO 3) GO INTO THE SUB DIRECTORY BIN CD C:\PROGRA~1\NETZERO\BIN 4)type EDIT JPEG.DLL 5) HIGHLIGHT ALL THE FUNNY TEXT SYMBOLS IN THE FILE - THAT IS, IF THE DOS EDITOR HAD A SELECT ALL FEATURE, YOU WOULD DO THAT. BUT IT DOES NOT SO JUST SELECT ALL THE TEXT WITH YOUR MOUSE. 6) HIT DELETE TO ERASE ALL THE TEXT IN THE FILE 7) SAVE THE FILE HIT ALT-S 8) EXIT AND TYPE DIR THE FILE'S SIZE SHOULD NOW BE 0 Thats it. Exit the MS-DOS screen and run NetZero. Connect like normal and when the connection is completed, the dial-up screen will go away and no banner will pop up. Instead you have 100% free dial-up and no annoying banner ads or banner lag. Merry Christmas! @ Have fun kiddees! peace the f&@#! out......... c0de kid boyDJ@angelfire.com _______________________________________________ Why pay for something you could get for free?
