Just think of how much that tool would be passed around if we initially made it with a GUI instead of a cmd screen. I still can't get over the irony of a MS forum mod recommending MDL decrypt tools. *facepalm*
Huh! You mean your ESD fails to match it's published hash? As mentioned and as others have told you - start at the beginning and first of all verify you have a sound .esd by hash checking.
ok, ok. Then the problem maybe is a corrupted .esd, the more fast program i use is hashtab to view SHA-1
