Not sure if this is proper to do, but my original question went unanswered,
then a zillion others appeared, burying mine! I was worried no one would ever
see it!!
Repeat question....
At first I got this message when I tried to open an email attachment. Now
it's happening when I try to open the net. I have to restart my computer to
get on the net. Can anyone please help me solve this?? This is the error
message:
The instruction at "0x00f02d22" referenced memory at “0x00f02d22”. The
memory could not be “read”.
Click on OK to terminate the program.

Appreciate any and all help!

Sorry if I breached ettiquette here!

No breach of ettiquete!

You might have a flawed memory chip or a marginal
contact. Open your PC, then remove your RAM
module(s) and put it/them back in again. If the problem
persists then you may have to ask your friendly computer
dealer to try a new memory module.

Thanks Pegasus, but, did you notice my name "not a techie"? Take my what and
do what with it??
I take it I have to open up the back of cpu and look for something. What
does it look like and can I screw it up??

Thanks again!

Look at the manual that came with your pc (personal computer) and it'll show
you how to open the case and where the RAM is located.

Yes:

> What does it look like

A long narrow circuit board (or two), on the motherboard, with a bunch
of chips lined up.

This is a pic of memory sticks, but not necessarily the type you use,
just the first page I selected:

> and can I screw it up??

Yes, so:

- Shut down the computer.
- Turn power strip off, but leave the computer plugged in. If no power
strip, unplug the computer.
- Open the case.
- Don't wear a sweater, don't move around excessively. Touch the case
occasionally.
- Remove the memory stick/s by depressing the two plastic levers at
either end of the stick.
- Press it back in being careful not to bend the stick excessively.

Close the case, plug back in, and try again.

Such memory errors are very often indicative of defective RAM.
Start with testing the RAM. You might try MemTest86:
http://www.memtest86.com/ It's free. Then you can download and use the
hard drive maufacturer's diagnostic utility to test the hard drive.

That statement implies that it is safe to open attachments that you
are expecting. That is *not* true.

Even if you are expecting an attachment from your best and most
-trusted friend, if your friend is infected with a virus and doesn't
know it, the attachment may also be infected, and if you open it, you
are at risk of getting infected. Running an anti-virus program reduces
the risk, but does *not* eliminate it.

The safest rule, and the one that I follow myself, is not to open
E-mail attachments at all.
