The new version you posted seems to have fixed it! Thanks!

This is running off a flat RIS install of Windows XP SP2 with all the current hotfixes. No third-party programs have been installed at the time it gets executed during the windows setup. It only happens on random machines and when it does happen it will always happen on that machine. This machine happens to be a HP Pavillion but I've had the same thing happen on 2 IBMs. I don't have any debugging tools on the freshly imaged boxes that it errors on so here's what I can get from the windows crash tool (It doesn't allow copy and paste and it's a real hassle to extract the text out of it.) Can you let me try the old version to see if it fixes the issue for the moment?

Hi, I seem to be having the same problem as sn3ak where when I try to run oemscan it starts to read the bios and then fails. Using v1.31: OEMBIOS Scanner v1.3.1 by Jeremy (xehqter) Reading BIOS Memory (crash with windows dialog) It works just fine on some PCs but it will randomly crash on others. These are all fresh images and it normally gets executed from cmdlines.txt but later when Windows loads (un-activated) and I try to run it manually it fails. Could someone do me a favor and post the older version (v1.21) on here or e-mail it to me so I can see if it works (which was sn3ak's solution I believe.) Thanks!
