ok I'll try that in a few minutes and report back. but even if it is corrupt how would that affect your program not staying open? what does one have to do with another? regards...
medic: I just installed winxp fresh with no service packs. I tried installing sp3 and I get the message that I need at least sp1 to install sp3. I decided to try the changer w/o any service packs and once again the oem.cmd file will not stay open. its starts a cmd page then shuts right down. any other thoughts before I chuck this machine out the window? btw this is the same winxp disk I use exclusively with nlite that works on a multitude of machines with your program. Your program even worked on this machine but for other reasons I wanted to try and do a manual install f Winxp. Don't seem to work doing it manually without the slipstream. regards...
WOW... I just found this tool and I am hoping it is an answer to my dilemma of converting 4 Dell systems a Gateway and HP all running XP Pro SP3 VLK back to OEM... never had to do this before but this could save me some major work... thanks in advance
Well I went to deal with this issue today and I simply can't believe how AWESOME this tool is... DAMN it worked on all 6 systems like a charm... I want to thank YOU and everyone else on here that assist with the entire OEM project. Can I make a donation to show my appreciation?

greets urie, and my thanks for all you have done, and shared. I do not post often, but in reading this thread, your words about 4shared caught my eye. With what happened to mega-up recently, it occurred to me to wonder where those -millions- of email addresses and names went to...and I think it's pretty clear....DC. I recently ended up on the 4share site for the first time, by following a link, and when it required me to give personal info (email addy), I felt a little chill, and left. I do not feel I can, in good sense, use such a site any more. Everyone makes their own choice, of course. I am only suggesting, in courtesy, that with there being many hosters -not- demanding personal info from every single person who connects, the nasty 4share might not be the best "first choice" of upload place. Perhaps RS? Or MF? I hope you sense that I offer these thoughts with the utmost respect. thank you again for all you've done for many many of us, dozer
hello 911medic ! I ask a gift of your time...but only a very small one... Would you give kindness to upload the oembioschanger ("for dummies"..lol.) to another site, which does not demand personal-info like email-addr ? I notice at last page of thread that urie has kindly re-upped the R2 version for someone....but I did not see mention of upping the 'main' version. It is possible that someone has done it....I admit I have not loaded every single page of thread. Very much pain with only slowww dialup here... thank you medic...and thank you squared for your work, and your generosity of sharing with us all. dozer
Hello, I would like to use OEMBIOS changer to make my XP genuine. However there's a couple of points I would like to clarify: 1. Is it OK to run OEMBIOS changer in a command prompt within XP or should I be running from WinPE or native DOS? 2. When I run the cmd from the XP command prompt this is the info that is reported Code: PID: 76487OEM Windows XP OEMBIOS Test v1.1/269/106 (C) 2007-2010 severach @ msfn forums F:Genuine OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=8B2EBECB F:Hewlett-Packard OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=00A1EECB F:Hewlett-Packard OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=3BA155E1 F:HP & Compaq OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=CD4E1902 These Royalty OEM install CD's should preactivate (SLP) on your system. I'm not 100% clear on which files I need to obtain and would appreciate some direction. Thanks!
