I was wondering if you had chance to review my last post and if there is any possible fix? If there is any additional testing I can do to help figure this out please let me know.

Looks like this problem is related to OS-specific settings, and it happens only on Windows 7. I'm not able to reproduce the crash on a virtual machine... Crash dumps indicate that there's some sort of memory corruption.

Can anyone please give me TeamViewer access to Windows 7 machine where the app crashes? Use Private messages

I don't have a TeamViewer account.

The install of my Windows 7 (via BootCamp) has not been "tweaked". MFC was working fine up to the 1.4 when I updated to 1.4.1 and then 1.4.2 is when my problems started. During that time there where Windows 7 updates that I did install.

There's no need to have a TeamViewer account, just download and run their app, tell us the ID and password (IN PRIVATE), and don't let the PC turn off. We just need to schedule the time.

Thank you very much for priceless help. We located the bug - it was in bios parsing code, bad code caused memory corruption on specific DMI bios dump. we'll fix it ASAP and post a new build for you in the topic. We didn't change ANYTHING on your PC, only created one folder on your desktop - CRYSTALIDEA_MACS_FAN_CONTROL_TEST, you're free to delete it. TeamViewer can be also terminated (and uninstalled if needed).
