error after startup

[Guest jlc]

I sporadically get this error “The instruction at "0x7c91b1fa" referenced

memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be "written" either at startup

or a minute or so after log into my profile. Anybody have a clue as to what

is causing this and a remedy to fix it.

When the error comes up I usually have to reboot because most programs and

computer are handicapped by it.

Thanks

It means one of your start up programs has gone walk about.

 

Some things to try:

 

1) boot into "safe" mode and see if the problems

recurs. If it does, it is probably a corrupted Windows

component. Try installing service pack 3. It may

overwrite the corrupted component

 

2) go into "msconfig" and go into "diagnostic startup".

If it works, go back into msconfig and select selective startup.

The idea is to divide and conquer until you isolate the

guy. If it does not work, see step 1 and step 3

 

3) worst case, do an "in place" reinstall of XP.

 

I'd install service pack 3 first
