Hi.

My laptop is giving the following error when I close several
applications "The instruction 0x1c001516 referenced memory at
0x00cd0010. The memory could not be read" Does anyone know what
could be causing this error ? Again, it only comes up when closing
certain programs. Does anyone know what can be done to fix this
error, or perhaps point me in the right direction ? Thanks.
 
Hey Pete,

The error you are describing sounds like an "Access Violation" it occurs
when one application steps on the memory space of another. Usually when
this occurs you'll produce 2 files on the machine a "drwtsn32.log" and a
"user.dmp". If you open up the Dr Watson log you'll be able to scroll to
the bottom you should see something similar to:


Application exception occurred:
App: (pid=204)
When: 11/26/2003 @ 10:11:58.500
Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)

If you scroll a bit father you should be able to match up the PID with a
number in the "task list" This is likely the application causing the
problem. You might try reinstalling that application or contaqcting that
vendor for support. If all else fails you can call MS support and have them
analyze the user.dmp in a debugger and tell you what is going on.
