I'm getting the same error playing video games(half-life 2 and FEAR). I want to attach my DrWatson files as requested but the forum isn't letting me. Is there an email or other place I can post this information for review?
I was only able to attach the last bit of the whole report.

Thanks.

Hi,

This forum accepts zip file and the maximum size limit of each attachment is 100K. However you can attach more than 1 attachment. Split the Drwatson log into several attachments

I'm getting the same random errors, on a brand new install of WinXP. I've got all the latest updates, latest drivers, and haven't changed any hardware for a while.

I thought I was only having these errors with Objectdock, but now it's random, and happens to any program.

cpc2004, you look like the guru here. What should I do at this point?

For the sake of completeness, I have the same problem using Imaging for Windows. I get the error every time I print something and then exit out of the program. I am now going to attempt some of the suggested solutions in this thread.

Hello,, want to join the party here with similar problem.

Running Windows 2003 server, have been running fine on the same machine for more than a year. Error started 2 days ago after i installed few programs which MAY had some virus. Error is

The instruciton at "0x001405f3" referenced memory at "0x020a0000", The memory could not be "read"

I booted up to memtest86 and checked memory, no errors.
Logged on as a different user, same error.
Applied SP1, no luck.
Uninstalled Java Runtime, reinstaleld it, same error.
Reinstalled Windows using Repair option, same error.
Ran virus,spayware, trojan scans, no luck. though viruses were found.
by the way, booting in safe mode does not hlep either.

One thing i noted that error occurs mainly in browser based apps or net related apps only e.g. IE, Firefox, MSN i.e. no error if i run Word, Notepad etc -- but i think Windows Eplorer may have given the same error too i think

Also if i dont click "OK to terminate...." on the error message box, i can use it just fine , like now i have this error popped but i can use IE just fine.

My next test would be to fresh install XP on the same machine and c if that works ok, if it works then at least its not hardware issue

I did not find anything on google on this error message.

Anyone have had any valuable input?

Thanks for any help.

Hi there,

sliderIP, I've got EXACTLY the same problem as you. Every detail you described matches mine. Except I'm running Winxp pro sp2 +updates.

What is more, I want to add that I started to see this error after Maple10 software installation. During the installation I saw that some stuff of java is being installed so I thought maybe this has the influence on these errors. But Maplesoft support denied that in reply of my e-mail.

I've tested my memory with memtest86 but after 1 pass there were no errors so I stopped memtest (maybe I should have ran it longer?).

I noticed these apps throwing this error: IE6, Mozilla Firefox, ldc++, eMule, skype. Others seems to work fine.

sliderIP, please tell me if clean reinstall of operating system helps. I will try further methods of solving this problem but if everything fails, I will have to make clean reinstall.

And one more thing, I can use every app named above if I move the error window away without pushing OK or Cancel.

I did couple of things since then and have 'cured' myself from this crapy error.

If i have to guess, it has something to do with mismatched/corrupted system/DLL file due to VIRUS/WORM/TROJAN , or some installation that screwed it up.

Here's what i did ,,

Uninstall anything u can install later ,, make it as clean as possible.

Run virus scan (s) , not just one but as many as u can , my pick is AVG Professional , download their trial copy and scan the whole machine

I found 23 viruses with AVG that were not found by Bitdefender, Trend etc..


But i say for sure that its not hardware issue, so u dont have to worry about that part at least.

Let me know if this works for u.

I took your advice and installed AVG Pro. Did a scan on C: drive and the scanner found C:\WINDOWS\system32\ldr64.dll infected which is I-Worm/Bagle. It was the only virus. I removed it manually by deleting registry key to force it not to startup at the next boot. Well... Now I think it's fixed and thank God I don't see the "Referenced Memory Error" after all (Hope to not see it in the future).
It's kinda strange coz my PC is usually virus free although I never use any anti-viral software

Thank you for your help, sliderIP.
Good luck.

U r welcome, i am glad your are 'clean' , i never had any anti-virus software before but now i think its not such a bad idea,, AVG Pro has my vote as it cleaned what others did not.

Happy Surfing.

Hi all,

I am so glad that i have found this thread. With the a/n problem
i am strugling for a long time.

In the past i wanted to find something about these errors but it
was a no go.

I do get the memory error when i

- want to generate an offline campaign mission in Il2fb/pf
- want to play silent hunter 3 online
- sometimes when i log off my pc
- sometimes after ending a program.

Very strange with other programs, internet, email etc i have no problems at all.

I will try a virusscan and will respond onto this forum again.

The memory could not be "read" ....

I decided to sign up to put my 2 cents in as well.

I get ... "The instruction at 0x00dc1539 at referenced memory at 0x00dc1539 could not be "read".

I get it *every* time I start my computer and it affects Netscape, which loads on startup for me. But the subsequent times that I start Netscape, it isn't affected.

I get it *every* time I shut down my computer and it affect explorer.exe. But I never care because my computer's about to kills all the processes anyway.

When and if it comes up apart from those times is seemingly random but I think that it happens when I'm either starting or closing a program.

I've tried cleaning my memory, I'm going to reformat in 2 days (because of a different problem), and I'm going to perform the memory test tomorrow.

Hope to hear back from someone.

-Eric

I changed this location in my registry to the new location and that did seem to solve the problem.

I was suffering with this problem already for several months so I hope that this will help others to solve their problem.

Vambry how did you do it???? Everybody has to learn from each other.

Also that java tweak.

When i want to play sh3 online and i am the server and
that people that come to play with me are all gone when i am in the sub.
Joining a server is impossible for me.

Offline i have no problems at all with sh3.

Very strange.


I really don`t know what causes this.

Found something,

Overview

Error on Exit of application: The instruction at "0x01ccedbc" referenced memory at "0x0d05690". The memory could not be "read".

Details

When user exits Framework, CaliberRM, or Document Factory they receive an error “The instruction at "0x01ccedbc" referenced memory at "0x0d05690". The memory could not be "read".” This is almost always a client specific issue.

Resolution

Search add\remove programs for any shareware applications. If they exist, remove them, and this should alleviate the error.
