Guess what? This works!

include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc

.code
start: invoke LockResource, 12345678h
print hex$(eax)
exit

end start


At least, it works on Win XP and Win 7. I wonder if older versions produce something else ::)

Under the hood, you can admire the immense improvements of Win7 over WinXP :biggrin:
