My system is running XP Pro sp2 with the latest patch that I am aware of (I
have automatic download on for updates). This morning the following error
message popped up during the start up:

he instructions at "0x7c918fea" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The
memory could not be written.

Cannot seem to find that error message in the Microsoft knowledge base.
Would appreciate any insight.

Thanks.

Did it reappear on a second bootup?

7c918fea is a virtual address in user space. A program has an instruction
at the address with
referenced a virtual address at the indicated location.

It might be that the physical memory which is mapped to the virtual address
is defective and cannot be accessed.
To check this possibility, you should run a memory testers such as memtest86
(may not be completely correct name).
Search the interent for memory testers...

Usually the program that caused the error will be mentioned. Also is
something not running that usually does? Another thing is you may take a
look in event viewer for error messages. (put eventvwr.msc in the "Run box")

Is there any more to the error message?

What, if anything, has changed since the last time you rebooted before
this started?

Do you have problems printing? If so, see

As far as I can tell, everything that's supposed to be running is running
just fine.

I can't remember, so I reboot to try to get the error message again, but now
it does not come up. This inconsistency is nuts.

The only new things installed recently was Diskkeeper, which I was not happy
with, uninstalled it and install PerfectDisk. But that was several days ago,
and the problem happened just this morning.

I installed and ran a memory tester, but comes up empty with no error detected.
