regsvr32.exe read memory error application

[Tammy]

I have been getting this error come up with a few different address numbers
coming over and over again. I have tried a lot of things... my question is
this type of error related to the harddrive or motherboard/processor/bios?
The computer is old and I know it needs replacing soon, but was hoping to
just upgrade if possible.

Thank you,

Tammy

"Memory error" indicates faulty RAM. To identify RAM
chips, go to www.crucial.com and run their upgrade utility.
It might be cheap to replace/upgrade your RAM and this
might cure the problem.

You mean an error like the one described here ?

"When I boot Windows XP, during system startup it announces the following error:

regsvr32.exe Application Error

The instruction at "0x1003aa0e" referenced memory at "0x00000000".
The memory could not be written. The application will now be
terminated."

This is what regsvr32 is used for.

You should write down, and then post, the exact error message details.
The root cause is probably something other than bad memory.

If you wish to test your computer memory, here are a couple places
to get free memory test programs.
