WINDOWS XP ERROR MESSAGE HELP

[isaacvargas]

I am getting this message in windows and need some help with it

the instruction at "0x7c91142e" references memory at "0x00373432" the
memory could not be "read"

I tried to hit F10 to reset but I do not think there is a system
restore partition on it

I am using a HP Omnibook 510 if that helps

Several things you could try:

Have you played with the Windows Virtual Memory settings?
If so, undo your settings and let Windows handle it on it's own. Right-click "My Computer",
"Properties", "Advanced" tab. Under Performance section, click the "Settings" button, "Advanced"
tab, under the Virtual memory section, click the "Change" button, and check the option, "System
managed size". Click the "Set" button, click "OK", "Apply", and "OK" your way out.

---------------------------------

Clean out the cache files. C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files. Click Start, Settings,
Control Panel, Internet Options, "General" tab Look under "Temporary Internet Files", Click
"Delete Files", check box, "Delete all offline content", "OK"

---------------------------------

Error Message: Memory Could Not Be Read...
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=262490

In the root directory of C:\, modify or create the config.sys file. Add the following:

files=65
buffers=40
stacks=64,512

If the error persists, try adding this line to your System.ini file:
Scroll down to the [386Enh] Section and One space down. Hit the
Enter Key one time to create a blank line just below the [386Enh].
In the blank line, type the following:

MinSPs=6

Click Edit, Save, Edit, exit. Shut down and restart for the changes to take effect.
(The default is 2. If required, increase increments by 2.)

Getting the error "The memory could not be read" on right-click button:

When you right click a file or folder, you should get the context menu...
So, there might be some invalid or corrupted entires in your context menu that is creating the
problem

Download ShellExView from here: http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/slowrightclick.htm
and check what is going on in your context menu. Delete the entries which are unwanted or
unknown.

That article is for Windows 2000. The specific issue addressed does
not exist in Windows XP, or even in Windows 2000 if Service Pack 1 or
later has been installed.

In the root directory of C:\, modify or create the config.sys file. Add the following:

files=65
buffers=40
stacks=64,512

If the error persists, try adding this line to your System.ini file:
Scroll down to the [386Enh] Section and One space down. Hit the
Enter Key one time to create a blank line just below the [386Enh].
In the blank line, type the following:

MinSPs=6

Click Edit, Save, Edit, exit. Shut down and restart for the changes to take effect.
(The default is 2. If required, increase increments by 2.)

Those instructions are for Windows 95 and 98 and are not at all
relevant to Windows XP.

Error messages of this type usually result from a programming error,
such as trying to read a 10th item from a list that has only 9 items
of data in it.

What exactly are you doing on the computer when this error comes up?
That may be a clue as to what program, device driver, or windows
component is creating the error.

Good luck

I just had this exact error (but with different memory locations) with an
employee's home system and it was being caused by W32.Beagle (several
variants), a couple of Trojans (Tooso, Leardoor), and spyware. I had to boot
the system into safe mode and repair from there.

Boot into safe mode and run your anti-virus. If that doesn't come back with
anything start checking the following for anything unusual:

Program Files
Application Data Directory under the users profile (It is hidden so you'll
need to change the setting for viewing hidden files/folders.
Check registry, specifically: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Run If any of the .exe's look suspicious investigate what they are
before deleting.

Once the system is stable enough you should be able to boot normally and
perform further cleanup.

we were uninstalling a program and then I belive the computer went to
sleep in the middle of the uninstall, the screen went blank and when we
moved the mouse to awaken it the screen went blank and windows took us
back to the login screen

once we log in windows starts and ask if we want to cancel what it was
doing or debug it

if we hit cancel we get only a blue screen no start menu or anything

if we debug same thing

we let it sit for a little bit and nothing happens

essentially we just want to do a system restore to get rid of all the
unused stuff on the drive

Try booting the computer into Safe Mode and running System Restore
from there.

To start Windows XP in Safe Mode turn the computer on and start
tapping the F8 key just as soon as the first information of any kind
shows on the screen. Keep tapping until the Windows XP Startup Menu
appears and choose "Safe Mode" from the menu.

Good luck

Thanks!

I really apreciate all the help you have provided, I will do this once
I get home.

I have a windows XP back up disc can I restore from that?

Will there be any problems with the registration key? Or should I go
out and buy a OEM XP disc and keep it just in case?

Depends on when the backup was created and what type of backup it is.
If it is a full partition image backup that was created just prior to
the failed uninstall attempt then it should work, but you will lose
anything that was added/changed/updated since the date of the backup.
Results from other types of backups will vary, depending on the exact
details of that backup.

Will there be any problems with the registration key? Or should I go
out and buy a OEM XP disc and keep it just in case?

The Product Key should not be involved if you just use System Restore
as per my original suggestion.

If you are going to be using backup disks then there may be a need to
re-enter the product key and/or to reactivate windows.

Good luck
