VMWare 6.5 - XP Pro

The oembios files you're using only have one small range available for an SLP name and that space is being used by other code so it can't be added there. You'll have to use different oembios files, and perhaps a different bios as well. (You can try the one I just posted.)

DELL (OEMBIOS CRC=87870F5A)
'f000','e827','0021','Dell Quanta'

Code:

Offset      0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7   8  9  A  B  C  D  E  F

You're using this fileset:

Code:

IBM (OEMBIOS CRC=D7A77612)
'E000','0','FFFF','IBM CORPORATION'
'F000','0','FFFF','IBM CORPORATION'

"IBM CORPORATION" is in RAM at a place that should work.

Try deleting oembios.* in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache to make sure Windows system file protection isn't restoring old ones, and then overwrite the files in system32 and catroot again.

 

Yep. I replaced the oembios files with the IBM ones and rebooted and was still activated.
