Re: ATI Catalyst Control Center with .NET v2

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Again Hello
This morning I booted up only to find an error on boot ATI2evxx.exe
-application error, "The instruction at "0x0042816b" referenced memory at
"0x00000000" The memory could not be "read" Then during logon to my account
the Microsoft Error Report pop-up opened "ATI EXTERNAL EVENT UTILITY.EXE
MODULE" , I am unsure of the finer techinal details that you have pointed out
but I also have another sys running XP Home all updated and with an ATI 7500
an older version of the catalyst and it is content with with the.NET v.2 .
The CLI.exe has come up previously requesting firewall access and it was
granted. There is one other thing I noticed if I log on and do not go on line
there is no .NET Broadcast error during shutdown, but when I logon to the
internet and then log off and proceed to shut down, the .Net box certainly
reappears. Maybe something ending a program incorrectly during internet
logoff as I said I am very unsure. Your time spent is grately appreicated!
