Can't empty recycle bin

[©LarryEº]

Keep getting error message:

"The instruction at 0x7c91a7ff referenced memory at 0x78e5c973. Memory
could not be read." I've searched Microsoft Knowledge Base but came up
empty. Anyone have any ideas? This is for a friend who is on XP.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try run,type:cmd In cmd type:CLEANMGR /SAGESET Chk all the boxes in the
new window,make sure "empty recycle bin" is checked,once thru click ok,type:
CLEANMGR /SAGERUN All that was checked gets ran as needed...As far as the
original problem,open event viewer & get details,you might also try running
in
cmd Sfc /Scannow You'll need the xp cd to run this (retail copy)...
