Scratch crashes machine with Phys Mem Dump and indicates that swmidi.sys is the cause.

I've renamed swmidi.sys, replaced it, reinstalled Scratch, and tried several different combinations of settings in scratch.ini.  This happens on some machines and not others.  The machines are identical and they all have the same image.  There's nothing in the event logs and there's no rhyme or reason as to why it's happening.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Any ideas?

Hmm...

swmidi.sys, that name certainly looks like the driver for your MIDI "synthesizer". (On my computer, the midi volume is the "SW Synth" and it plays midi sounds, swmidi.sys?) I also have a swmidi.sys files on my system.

You might try to run the device manager (My computer > Properties > Hardware > Device manager) and check if there are no unknown devices (yellow ? 's) maybe called "SW Midi synth" or something like it.

Are all your Audio devices correctly installed? Have you tried taking a swmidi.sys file from another computer? When sxactly does the problem occurs (When you startup Scratch, when you play a note  block, ...)
