Memory allocation

I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on this
question.

In Windows 98 / System Information utility you used to be
able to view the software environment section and see a
listing of applications and dlls, as well as what range of
memory addresses they were loaded into.

I am currently trying to help a user with a problem on a
Windows XP box where an application consistently crashes
with a fault at the exact same memory address each time.
As a result I am trying to obtain information as to what
dll or application is residing in that memory space on the
XP computer.

Unfortunately the system information utility has been
changed somewhat and no longer lists memory address
allocation for anything other than hardware.

I was wondering if anyone knew where a user can go in
Windows XP to obtain a listing of memory addresses and the
associated process using any given address? I'm hoping
the answer is not that they have removed that
functionality from WinXP but so far I haven't had any luck
finding it.

Anyone out there know of an interface within XP or the MMC
console to be able to view memory allocation?

Any help at all would be highly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mike

Here's my guess, Mike: the user is infected with the Swen or Gibe virus.
Check that out first.
