How to change card backs?

I've had a look at this with Resource Hacker, Resource Hacker™ - Version 3.4.0. But something is puzzling me. Let me show you what I mean. This is from the 64-bit version of Windows 7:

The file, CardGames.dll, clearly exists in the System32 directory, as shown below:

When browsing that directory with Resource Hacker, the file apparently doesn't exist:

But it does exist, as proved in the first image and by the fact that the card games work. So, I then try typing CardGames.dll into the box, using the exact spelling format as found in the System32 directory. I then click Open and just receive an empty screen:

I then click on File and the entry CardGames.dll is clearly visible, as shown here:

However, clicking on this entry yields the following:

But it DOES exist, as proved in the first image above.

Same for me with resource hacker Dwarf. Odd that as so many of the files we use it for are system files? Simply left click on the dll opens reshacker, but it is blank, and no options available. A Guy

I did further tests, and found that I could open the file from my 32-bit installs, but not my 64-bit ones. In addition, the file was listed in my 64-bit Vista installation (though not in the 64-bit Windows 7, as shown above), but it still wouldn't open. By listed, I am of course referring to the open file dialogue of Resource Hacker. All of this was done from my Windows 7 64-bit installation.

Reshacker 3.4.0 does not support 64 bit files. You need the 3.5.2 Beta which has 64 bit support.

There doesn't seem to be any info on Angus Johnson's site about this, but Vishal's site links to the file in Angus' site

EDIT: There IS some info on Angus' site about this

One off update - 19 December 2009 (version 3.5.2 beta):

I needed to access resources in a 64bit Windows executable so I've just updated Resource HackerTM to open (ie decompile/recompile) these files too. This new version also displays PNG image resources. However, please understand that I have no intention of reviving this project so please DON'T ask for other features. Also, because this version has only had limited testing I'm releasing it as a beta version.
You can download this beta version here - reshack_setup.exe

Yes but, I want to change the backs of the cards NOT the table (background) they are played on.

I guess you will have to change the card backs here

I think this is where all the card and card back images are stored.
