I realize I should be looking at the Microsoft website for this answer, but after spending an hour and a half digging through the Microsoft site looking for an answer to a simlpe problem, THEN finding the answer on a talk forum I used to frequent, I decided that common people are generally easier to get info from then the giant mess that is Mircosoft's Tech Help. Below is the problem.



This only occurs on a random basis, most often when I open up Windows Explorer. I'm not much of a genius when it comes to Windows, but I think it's talking about RAM, and it dosn't like a certain spot of it. Beyond that, this message makes zero sense to me (beyond the fact that it mucks everything up, that is!). Is this something I could fix with my limited skills, or am I going to end up frying the hard drive and reinstalling Windows?
Thank you in advance for any help/advice, much appreciated.

well, gpf errors in a windows module (or anywhere) aren't usually a good thing. If it is continually happening in explorer.exe you may have a corrupt os. Before you go blowing it away I'd check around the various virus software sights to see if there any descriptions of viruses that cause the problem you're having - if not you may need to just do a clean install of os.

it looks to me like *something* is corrupt somewhere, i wouldn't for shure put my finger on explorer.exe, i'l probably be a dll somewhere. give your windows disc a spin, and use it to repair any corrupt files.
