In the middle I state "There are 6 more identical paragraphs like these above and below this" which just means there were 7 duplicates of the same thing which was:
I forgot to mention this has only happened when I was trying to send a file out of adobe acrobat to my plotter, and has only happened a few times but from the same file.. The computer has 3gb ram and it is a q6600 quad core processor on win xp pro 32-bit..

Thank you in advance..

you have to set the path to the symbols;

Please upload the MiniDumps or Add the Log in your next Reply once you have set the Symbols correctly you can follow this to set the Symbols File Correctly - Windows Debugging Tools

But to add on you have a 0x8E Error normally caused by Hardware Faults, you can start by running Memtest86.

Memtest86 Instructions
1. Download the pre-built version of Memtest86 (Link Below)
2. Burn it onto a CD using ISO Recorder (Link Below) other ISO burning software will work as well (E.g. Nero).
3. After this boot off the CD and start the test going and let it run for 3-5 hours (Minimum of 7 Passes) or Overnight which is best.
