what does ''the instruction ''some number and letters'' referenced memory at '' some numbers '' this memory could not be read'' mean.

Hello and welcome to the forum..

The answer would depend on what the numbers were.
If you could post those numbers and maybe if you can remember what you were doing at the time of this message it will give the tallented members and staff a better insite and enable them to give a more precise definition

I agree with Ian and depending on what you are doing at the time the error occured if this happens during clicking on a web page then I am inclinde to ask what service pack you have installed and what internet explorer you are using?

it happend when i was on Internet explorer, Lego digital designer and command and conquer 95 and red alert. i cannot remember the numbers but when it happens again i will say what they are.

In technical terms, a program wrongfully access the STACK, which is a FIFO (First in First Out) system for storing information in memory.

It does NOT mean you have an issue with your system's memory. It more so reflects a programer that didn't know how to use good memory accessing techniques when writing the program.

Nice educational post there Tj, a very useful bit of information indeed.

@ apemax, of course, if you find that you are getting this error all of the time, you may want to ask for help investigating possible malware.

However there are so many bad, and lazy coders out there these days, it is not unusual to get that message on different sites.

Does that answer your question?

Looking forward to your reply,

TTFN
