XP shutdown Explorer.exe problem

K

Ken Pryor

Hello,

I have a Dell Inspiron 530 that belongs to a friend. It's running XP Pro
and has 3gb ram. Nearly every time you shutdown, reboot or log off, this
error pops up:

"Explorer.EXE-Application Error
The instruction at 0x01359430 referenced memory at 0x01359430. The memory
could not be written." (The memory address changes from one time to the next)

I have searched till I can't see straight and can't find the solution to
this. I've run chkdisk, defragged and also sfc but to no avail. I have
removed all unnecessary items from startup and services in msconfig, but the
problem still exists.

Any guidance on resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, but unfortunately that didn't cure the problem. The system has
two users and initially both were affected by this. However, one of them
doesn't seem to have it happen anymore, while the other does. Both users are
administrators.
I created a new user and it had the problem as well.
Thanks,
KP

It's not HIS anyway (HE didn't write it). I'm surprised the author
doesn't sue him.
