Apparently, from other thread's that help has posted they are using Windows XP.

However, the exact circumstances of the fault need to be stated. Here is an example from Microsoft's web site:

this is an error messege i got

hh.exe -application error

the instruction at "0x65e27829" refrenced memory at "0x008cb239".the memory could not be read.

click on ok to terminate the program
click on cancel to debug the program

 

hope this helps

 

what were you doing when you had the error mesage? Was it something to do with a help file?
Yes the specs are a great help, now the techies know what you've got they can give you sound advice based on your system.
I would look into partitioning your hard drive,
3 seems to be the favourite number of partitions reading through this board,
one for your OS, one for programs & documents etc, and a third where you can store backups.
Have you read this?

i was attemting to run a proggie.wats a memory leak?

 

ebook viewer,microsofts.it only happened with a certain ebook,all, others run fine

 

what can i do,should i go out and by new RAM,can someone explain what happens in a memory leak?

 

"a memory leak" is a software term where the application you are running is "leaking" memory, i.e., not managing its use of memory properly.

What this means from the applications point of view is one of two things 1) it allocates memory but doesn't free it, i.e., gobbles memory. and 2) it tries to make use of memory that it hasn't allocated.

In the second case that memory may belong to another application and a conflict occurs or it may be free/spare memory. Free or spare memory is usually uninitialised and thus your application makes use of junk or can be taken up by another application and thus causing another conflict.

What does this mean to a user of the application. Quite simply look for an upgrade or patch for the application that corrects the poor memory management in the first place. It does not mean that you are required to buy more memory or have your own memory management software.

Finally, another solution is to look for another application that does the same job but better than the one that does not manage its memory correctly.

---------

From an application developer point of view such memory management issues are handled by the use of code and design reviews, static and dynamic analysis tools, testing, memory management analysers, etc.

Of course, the application developer can use a programming language that doesn't concern itself about memory, i.e., where memory management is handled automatically as possible.

However, none of this is fool proof but it helps to minimise the problems and some memory management issues are detected once the application is in production use.

 

It may have nothing to do with your problem, but buying more RAM won't hurt. I've found that XP & the programs you've added to it runs much better with a minimum of 512 MB.

 

ok

ok i got it,thanks guys
