SYMPTOMS
When you save or print a Windows NT Diagnostics (WINMSD.EXE) report that includes Hardware information, there may be two or more lines for System BIOS Version. The first line usually contains correct information, however the rest of the System BIOS Version lines have erroneous information. For example:

            Microsoft Diagnostics Report For  --  Hardware Report --

System BIOS Date: 12/15/94 System BIOS Version: 80486 ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.00 A10 System BIOS Version: 0 A?? System BIOS Version: ? ? ?              System BIOS Version: 2 System BIOS Version:  System BIOS Version:  6                  Video BIOS Date: 94/12/15 Video BIOS Version: OEM ID: 0 CPU Type: Intel Pentium Number of CPUs: 1 Page Size: 4 KB (4,096) Minimum Application Address: 0x00010000 Maximum Application Address: 0x7FFEFFFF Current Video Resolution: 800 x 600 x 65,536 Stepping of Processor 0: x86 Family 5 Model 2 Stepping 4

Note:


 * This problem occurs three to four times in every ten tries.
 * The corruption usually looks different every time.
 * This problem also occurs when you save or print Report All.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
