Exception Privileged Instruction 0xc0000096 at 0x7129da48

[Privileged Instruction]

This error message comes up (over) whatever application is in use. Also may relate to cursor freezing up in e-mai reply for nearly 4 minutes before it clears. Would like to find out the fix to this problem. Thanks!

Welcome to the MSFN!

1. Do you have any other information in the Event Viewer?

2. What Operating System are you using?

3. How much memory in the computer?

4. Do you get this error in Safe Mode?

Well, it's an instruction in user mode, I can tell from the address range, and the error code (0xc0000096) just maps to exception of privileged instruction.

If it happens in every user-mode app, it would seem to be something with a global hook causing it - does it reproduce in safe mode or safe mode w/ networking? Also, if you run autoruns and shellexview, disable anything non-Microsoft, and reboot, does it continue?
