lately i have been getting this same error when trying various tasks ....

the instruction at "0x1fcb3854" referenced memory at "0x00000007", the memory could not be "read".
click on ok to terminate the program.

i looked to see what programs were running, but nothing was that i didnt know about.

just this morning i got this error when trying to open weatherbug. i also got this error when trying to paste info to a word document, and with trying to open corel office.

could this be bad ram? or maybe a windows issue? should i reinstall? i have also updated my files from windows update. i downloaded everything.

i have a hp pc. 304w

256mb ddr pc2100 ram

40gb hard drive
