I'm no expert on this, but I suppose:
1) it's required to run as administrator (rightclick the shortcut to CMD 
("command prompt") and select to Run As Administrator.
2) it's nowadays required to specify which programmer you want to use 
when executing flashrom program:

something like:
flashrom -p internal -r savebios.bin

likewise also when only reading (instead of dumping/saving), writing and 
erasing.
