When I start a search, on the next search, I almost always get three results.

Usually one has an insanely large (or large negative) value, and the other two have ?? for their values. Sometimes I can freeze the address with the numbered value, but I can NEVER freeze the ?? valued addresses. And I can't change ANY of the values.

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the games I'm trying to use CE on being Flash...

Anyone else experience this?

sounds like those addresses are write protected

I would not recomend forcing them to be write enabled unless you definately know what those addresses are doing

Actually, it happens in the tutorial too:

1) I start tutorial.exe, and click Next to get to the first step
2) I attach CE to the tutorial.exe process
3) I do a standard 4bytes 32bit Exact Value first scan for 100
4) In the tutorial, I press Hit Me to lower it to 97
5) Back in CE, I do the same search via Next Scan for 97

6) I get exactly three results, instantly: (this is basically what always happens on my first Next Scan with anything)

Is CE not compatible with Vista or something?

Yet, it worked fine for the first couple days I used it...

EDIT:
Looks like running it as admin worked. Cool. Apparently I need to become more acquainted with Vista... -_-

Truthfully, I'm kinda curious why it was working for a few days to begin with and then suddenly stopped, 'cause I just now ran it as admin.

...but, whatever. *shrug*

Did you do what the link tells you to do so that CE can work in Vista now?

don't know
try reinstalling CE if you haven't all ready,

or duel boot with xp,
apart from that can't help you here,

if you read the vista link and that dont help Exclamation

if it was working ok then just started messing about tho I would go for a re-install

Didn't even need to reinstall; right-clicking the main .exe and setting it to run under WinXP compatibility mode and Run As Administrator made it work fine. (so far =)

And I like Vista, so no dual-booting for me... =P

No, that didn't help at all; I already had XP compatibility mode checked, before the problem even started.
