the instruction at "0x004a87dd" referenced memory @ "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".

ok to terminate
cancel to debug

hmmmmmmmmmmm?

 

Problem software developer, more like.

 

sure its not the ram

 

almost 100%
You wouldn't expect the memory at 0x00000000 to be readable. Someone has written some software that dereferences a null pointer.

 

Defo not the memory.....it's the programme

Mike

 

no way its happening to frequent

 

You are right then. The memory is obviously broken - mail it to me and I'll throw it away for you.

 

its detected at start up though!

 

Not the memory......

What os are you using??

Mike

 

Win 2kpro only started recently

 

At what point do you get the error? Is it during startup or after everything has loaded?

Mike

 

loading exe generally, when i was loading Half life, Colin Mcrae also noticing when playing UR that my musics going all juddery and so is the screen!

Which it could handle before

Si

 

So you've upgraded the OS and since then you've been having these problems??

Mike

 

no always bin 2k pro

 

Get a dependancy walker - Sysinternals do a free download or you could install your stolen copy of VS.NET.
When it crashes again Find out which module has crashed, and which application it belongs to (with the dependancy walker).
Uninstall and then reinstall said application, or if it is some dodgy 3rd party stuff, don't reinstall it.

 

ill try the dependancy walker

What does it do?

thanks people

Si

 

lol sell ive got A level maths, assembler programming bit UR and then java + bin upsince 4am and will be 2morrow DOH

 

good that program i had loads back ground crap

cheers

Si

 

right still same error! how can i see where problem is?

 

You can use this handy app - total overkill but I am sure you can cope

It tells you what is doing what on your system, so you can find out which application is using the dll that crashed (if it was indeed a dll - if it was an exe then it is even easier).

EDIT: mumble friday evening mumble brain fade mumble
