I keep getting this error in Win XP SP3: unhandled exception c0000005
at address 01261040
Please advise. I read an M/S support bulletin on the exception, but it was
at a different address. I don't have the program that was addressed in that
bulletin. Thank you

Is the address 01261040 always the same? The machine may have some failing
memory.

Download, burn and boot http://memtest86.org to run an exhaustive test of
the memory in the machine.

I'll have to be more careful in checking the address to determine, however, I
will run memtest, thank you

Can you pinpoint the activity or actions that generate the error
message?

I did not see how that supplied link gets you a RAM tester, but if you
want to run a memory test this will work:

Run a test of your RAM with memtest86+ (I know it is boring and will
cost you a CD).

Memtest86+ is a more up to date version of the old memtest86 program
and they are not the same.

The memtest86+ will not run under Windows, so you will need to
download the ISO file and create a bootable CD, boot on that and then
run the memtest86+ program.

If even a single error is reported that is a failure and should make
you suspicious of your RAM.

If you have multiple sticks of RAM you may need to run the test on
them one at a time and change them out to isolate the failure to a
particular single stick. Always keep at least the first bank of RAM
occupied so the test will find something to do and there is enough to
boot your system.

Sometimes, reseating the RAM in the slots will relieve the error but a
failure is still cause for suspicion.

The file and instructions are here:

http://www.memtest.org/

If someone says to run memtest86, you can say that you know memtest86+
supercedes memtest86 and here's why:
