i have a home network and i just reinstalled XP on my pc and now when i go to view my other comp from mine i get the error in the attached pic, but i can still share files without a problem, then when i click ok or cancel explorer.exe is ended and comes back

are you using home or pro?

also which service pack are you using?

pro,sp2,all updates

I'm a noob, so here's a really dumb question:

Is your memory on your computer [giving the error] good?

Try changing your memory... the n00b is right

its a laptop, ive never had this error before

memory can go bad at any time.... every time i get the "memory reference at" errors.. i replace the memory and it goes away

its only when i look at another comps files through my home network

run sfc /scannow

you might have some corrupt files

what network protocols are installed?

is there anything special about your xp install? (did you nlite or anything) ?

i did nlite it, but i installed it on 2 comps in the last 3 days and the other comp does not have this problem

i just have the standard protocols

i installed longhorn transformation pack 10.5 which changes alot of files so that could be one

hmm...i would bet that would be your problem..

also..may you should try and "reseat" your memory

reseat?

Reseat = Pull out and put back in..

if you have 2 dimm's try them one at a time to see if one if faulty

its in a laptop so its a pain in the but to but in and take out, this only happens wehn im in the network tho and never happened before i reinstalled windows

A little story

I had an accounting computer that ran reports all the time. This was a nice new beefy machine. The computer ran perfectly fine all the time. Suddenly the user had to run a new report using crystal reports. This was a daily report that needed to run every day because of new procedures. The error message that you are getting is the same one I was getting. (different memory address referenced) The computer ran perfectly fine until something had to reference a specific portion of the memory.

No memory testing utility was able to give me a sign that the memory was bad however once i replaced the 1dimm 512 with an identical 1dimm 512 the error went away..Even though the memory was only about a month and a half old.. it still went bad.

It is a pain to pull out the memory because it is a laptop. I know how you feel. We are just giving you possible solutions because you asked us to. We tell you this because we went through the same problems you are going through and this was how we fixed it

Please don't take this as being sassy.. I just want to make sure i get my point across.. ... just trying to help
