Windows Error Messages?????

wiloughby · 07-07-2006

Dear PC Forum,
I have had an unusual amount of Windows error messages lately. They say end program now but if you do end

the program you could loose unsaved data. Also another message pops up and says debug, send error report or cancel. Is this what the service pack 2 is supposed to fix? also every now and then i get this message saying the (the memory cannot be read). Could you tell me what is causing this?
Thank You Very Much,
Wiloughby

Hya Wiloughby. That could be lots of things im afraid.

Updating windows would be a place to start indeed.

Also go to start / run and in the run window type in:
sfc /scannow >enter
Have you XP CD in youre drive, and it'll run itself, replacing any missign or damaged protected XP files.

install and run RegSupremePro.
It will want to make a backup of your registry , let it. Once it has finished, click on the Registry Cleaner tab, select Aggressive. When it has completed, click on Select, choose All. Click on Fix, and let it fix everything that it finds.

And run a test on youre ram with Memtest:

Please download ATF-Cleaner.

Run ATF-Cleaner:
First check "Select All" , and then remove the tick infront of "History".
Then click Empty Selected.
When you get the "Done Cleaning" message, click OK.

Let's see if any of this helps first.

Dear Joe 5,
Thank you for the feedback. I have run the scannow now and everything checks out fine. Also i have run my virus and spyware scans and everthing checks out ok. When i received my computer i did not receive a windows CD believe or not but i will call HP and see if i can get one. when i have had the (cant read memory box) pop up i called HP and they walked me through steps to displace the mb in two boxes. I will take your advice and you have been very nice to respond to my needs.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
wILOUGHBY,

Your HP CD's may include a "restore disc" this would contain your copy of Windows.
Some 3rd-party software programs may have issues with SP2-- but there are usually updates from the sofware manufacturer or 'workarounds' on their websites. If it is consistently one program causing the issues... I would look to it's maker for answers. I personally, with hundreds of software programs on my computer have had fewer than 5-6 problems with anything. Sp2 security-restrictions take some getting used to-- other than that it's worked just great for me.
