Hi guys,
I'm getting this error message every time my laptop starts and everytime a
window changes in IE.
"Program has encountered an error and needs to close etc etc"
I have found the syslog information on the error and it gives me no help..
"Faulting application program, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module program,
version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0004a2b0"
No recent programs have been installed to cause this (Which I am aware of)
Can someone give me some ideas on how to cure this?
Well It depend on what IE? Version you have?.
If you get Memory Cannot be read or written. As the name refer to, it is a
memory problem, some applications/programs
didn't release the memory in timely fashion causing the Error to be thrown by
the system error reporting tools.
Also it could be the work of malware, badly written applications installed
on your system including third party toolbars installed beside Internet
explorer, do you have other toolbars installed try to uninstall them, memory
gone bad or loose in their slots/dust also can cause this.
