So for each of the MeGUI scans, the script does its own scan (occurs at script start up), so MeGUI may be busy for about 10 seconds after script load, and it is during this time that the preview window pops up.
There seems to have been some recent (within about 2 or 3 months) mod to MeGUI source that displays the preview window before the MeGUI multiple scans of script starts, and as the batcher clicks the ALT\F4 close button as soon as the preview window pops up, so when MeGUI blits the graphic to the window, it has already been closed, Bang, Crash Wallop.

Before the problem arose, the window would only show up after MeGUI multiple scans had completed, and so the batcher would not close the window, because it was not there.

That is how it seems to me.

EDIT: Above is not an XP issue, it will occur on any OS (if a batcher is used, or the user is super quick at closing the window, I have not as yet managed to be quick enough to click it manually fast enough to crash it).

Again, I would need more details to be able to reproduce it. E.g. can you share the script? Is there an error in the log?
