You get an errors like can't write memory to location #### ?

This can be caused by DEP, turn it off for the program(s) your having

Another diagnostic is Gold Memory, from www.goldmemory.cz. For me,
ver. 5.07 has found more errors than the newer versions have,
including when MemTest86 has found none (and vice-versa).

This is no help with your present difficulty, but it should help
avoid similar problems in future. You should have bought a system
with ECC memory (and the capability to use it). That converts
unreliable memory into quite reliable memory, and avoids all the
intermittent errors due to cosmic reays etc.

Just remember the phrase ECC and don't let anyone talk you out of
it.
