Referenced Memory Error

Sorry. I disagree. Some DOS applications simply won't work without a real floppy. And BIOS upgrades normally require a real floppy.

it would help if you told what the error was.

IE explorer - memory reference error :-(

Guys,

I also had the problem in internet explorer, whenever i close the IE !

the instruction at "0x05c4454d" reference memory at "0x05c4454d". the memory could not be read

I recently changed(enabled) the security settings related to activeX controls in my IE ! After that change only, I started receiving this message quite often ! So I have reset the security settings to medium. after that i didn't have this junk error !

You can also try it ! This might be one of the reason that IE shows these type of error !

Cheers,
Kader

Make sure that you have installed the latest service packs for IE

Well just solved it for me, hence registered to share:-


The symptoms of my problem were the referenced memory error whenever I closed down either IE or Firefox, (and possibly the failure of the task manager to close certain processes down automatically but I can't verify that yet).

The solution was to remove Microsoft NET framework.

Hope this helps.

So much for that!

The problem started up again this morning and worse of all by deleting the Microsoft. Net Framework program I have lost about 80% of my bookmarks.

what do you mean..what the error is?

no attachment, no memory ,, uuhh

I also have the same refered memory problem.
But I think I'um to some symptoms:
I have this error EVERY time I right-click several files (many of them on my HD) or just clicking copy-paste-delet buttons on windows explorer panel (reffering to those files)/
Also I cannot send e-mails with ATTACHMENTS from my Netscape (it sent, but nobody receive it - it is lost in my sent box or in my memory , but I can attach those files from online clients, like Hotmail.
Memtest86 came with no error. Maybe it is just bad physical memory unit in my (our)RAM?

memory error

Sometime, you would be able to see the error message header like this, "Acrobat IEHelper - Application error" , then it means the acrobat iehelper add-on on your IE has some problem.

Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Go to programs tab -> Click on manage addons buttons -> You would be able to see different addons on the screen

Select AcroIEHlprobj.class and disable the addon. Also you would be able to see different addons to your IE , if you feel that you have suspicious addon, just disable it.

Does anyone tried to run win XP from another harddisc? while the @bad" hard disc connected as slave? I think this test can show if this is installation problem or hardware

I am also experiencing a referenced memory error. I have a new notebook (HP Pavilion zv6000), running Windows XP Home, AMD 64 Athlon, ATI Graphics. I'm a senior and not really familiar with all the ins and outs of computer lingo. However, my error just began in the last week. It happens right after 'log off'.. prior to shutting down the error box pops up - but only for a few seconds - so far I can only read this much:

" The instructions at 0x200494ld referenced memory......... [more numbers and no time to catch the rest.... however I believe there was an OK or CANCEL at the end]. Then it disappears and shuts down the computer.

I'm hoping to copy the rest of the message as it pops up each time and will capture the whole darn thing. My husband spoke to the techie at Staples where we bought this machine and he said to ignore it. It means nothing!!
Not sure that is the right thing to do.

Meanwhile I'll do what he said and ignore it. Cheers, Grandma

I have cured the problem. It was something bad in registry.
Look at this forum and this article and it should help. It helped me (it was Acoustica mp3 to wav converter bad registry)

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm

http://www.tech-recipes.com/modules...wtopic&t=358&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0)

if you have the windowsxp rollup update 1 installed try removing it )
that fixed my problem.
I beleive it has somthing to do with the fact that they included and older version of a dll or .sys file in the update.
I can't remember where i found the answer on google but after i removed the update the system was back to normal and i have yet to encounter the The instruction at "0x000000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000 error

RE: Referenced Memory Problem

I have found your forums because I have the same type problem as all of you with the error message:

The instruction at 0x03fe415b referenced memory at 0x00000000 the memory could not be written.

I don't have any solutions but I can say I have only really been having problems with a subdirectory or two in My Pictures Folder. I have tons of pictures and have them all divided into categories- each having their own folder. There is only one or two of the folders that are not working. When I open that particular folder I get the error message and cannot continue.

I tried what someone suggested and changed my start folder from My Excite- thinking maybe it was buddy or something...no success.
I can access the problem folder/s though my home network to get and view my pictures.
So, my pictures are not lost but I am indeed at a loss as to how to fix this problem; Incidently I do notice that when I get the error message it changes the number somewhat for the same directory but it does have certain parts that remain the same: Last time I ran it I got the arror message with the 0x03ce415b. I am not really having any more thoubles- just with the Windows Explorer crashing on these few directories.

Hope that maybe gives a little more insight.

Hiya ..... I've been getting the same problem. I just reoinstalled XP, and some way through installing my new programs, a referenced memory error started appearing on shutdown .......

I found this thread on a web search on the error message .... hi guys!

Edit 5 Feb:
Anyway, after some searching, I think that my message should be a registry error .... still trying to work on searching some help on this ... coz I'm not so good with the registry ....

I say that it might be this, as I have searched the error # in regedit & found a reference that doesnt seem to be linked properly .........

has anyone had any more luck ?

Hi,

I am using a computer with the following configuration:

AMD Athlon XP 3000+, 939 pin processor
MOBO: MSI RS482M2-IL with bois version: v3.80, release date: 2005-7-29
RAM: Trancend 512 MB DDR400 RAM-single stick
Power Supply: Frontech JL2410 (400W SMPS with 24 pin power connector)
Windows XP/2000 prof

I bought my computer in the month of November, 2005. Since then, I have been experiencing some problem with access voilation errors and programs getting terminated. I have updated my motherboard with the latest available drivers from MSI website.

I am got the folliwng error messages when I was using the programs like Internet Explorer or Getright 5.2d(a download manager) and the program is getting terminated This is the case in both Windows XP pro and 2000 Pro:


1. Error For IE:
The instruction at "0x0153ca87" referenced memory at "0x0153ca87", The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program

2. Error for Getright:
Access violation at 0x02F6FC6E (tried to write to 0x05EDE6D0), program terminated.

I am really disappointed with this kind of behaviour of my computer with AMD processor. Eventhough my friends adviced me not to go with AMD, I preferred it. Previously I was using Intel based computer and I never had such problems. Did I make a mistake by buying an AMD based computer. Please help me out to resolve this problem.

Regards,
Harry Morwin.

I forgot to tell you something. I did formated and reinstalled the OS WinXP SP2, updated my system with all the MS updates and Norton AV updates( I have NIS 2005 installed on my PC). Today again I got the following error with heading iexplorer.exe Applicaiton error, when I was trying to close IE:

The instruction at "0x1001ca87" referenced memory at "0x1001ca87", The memory could not be "read". Click Ok to termincate.

Please help me in finding the exact root cause. Many of then are suggesting that the fault could be of the Motherboard or the RAM. Is it true. I have even run Memtest86 - Memory Diagnostic for 4 passes, but I didn't get any problem. Also I did run sfc /scannow, it too didn't show up with any error message.

When I went through may forums and websites, I noticed that the similar kind of problem is there with many AMD based PC owners. Even in one forum it was mentioned that it the memory leak bug is due to AMD Processor.

Please help me out.

The solution I got...

MY case is this...
Same errors with different numbers

This happens when i am opening excel files. But not all excel files. Sometimes, when i open a file and the error did not appear all the other excel files i can open. But when i closed the application (excel) and reopen the files the error comes out again.
This error happens also when i run or play .wmv files and some .avi files but not all. Some .avi will play.
This error also happens when the internet page i want to visit has a movie file playing wherein it has to run a media player i.e wmp, qt, real...

I am not having any crash with my windows xp sp2, so far. Above is what i have observed that is happening.
I have googled it and i found many people have this problem in a lot of other applications have this error... and not only with windows xp but also win2k... it is not a hardware problem as most have initially suspected...

it is not about memory chips... have tried it... even checked my mems with different test progs...

i have already removed any of my recent installations, still i have the problem...
ran registry cleaners...
no virus detected or any trojans or security threats... i ran an online scan and have the avg antivirus.... no luck

a friend suggested to reinstall the sp2. i downloaded the file (273Mb) from microsoft update site.

i also downloaded the latest directX (dec2005)

i installed the sp2 and now i can open the excel files and media files without the errors.

i also installed the new directX just for good measure for IE...

I hope this can help some of you guys!

Same problem here although I only got this when I use Nero Vision express 6 and in the middle of making/editing a movie. First time I got this was after I upgraded (fresh install) to XP SP2. When I was using XP SP1, no such problem. I re-installed my SP2 but this did not solve the problem. The problem is not hardware related because I have reformatted, defragmented, replaced old HDs and other peripherals and have even experimented by transferring my HD in another PC and the problem persisted. The problem I think is in the new SP2 modifications and MS updates. I hope somebody finds out how to solve this problem since I really miss using Nero and have not burned any personal DVD complilations lately. Cheers!
