My computer keeps giving the following message: RAM
containing Windows program code corrupted.
What's this all about and how do I fix it?
Thanks

With no putdowns or humor intended, your best course of action, if you don't
know what that message means, is to take the PC to a local repair shop that you
trust and tell them the error message you received. They will be able to help
you set it right.

Cheers,

Reboot. If the message returns, it means that the Windows
installation may be damaged and the code it send to RAM is
corrupted. It is also possible that the RAM is defective or
even the mobo and that the Windows files are becoming
corrupted because the RAM address is not being protected.

Anybody know if this is trully a message from XP? Seems to me that such a
condition would blue-screen.

Not necessarily. I have had bad RAM manifest itself as program errors, corrupt
dll messages, even an inability to D/L files(bad checksums). XP is so picky
about RAM that almost anything can happen(including the dreaded BSOD, of
course).
