Could me several issues. Could be a bad SQL Server binary. Mismatched
MDAC. Bad MMC build. Or, your worst fears, the .MDF file may be locked or
corrupt.

I'd try to attach to another SS server and/or use Query Analyzer and
sp_attach_db to narrow down if it is the .MDF file the local SS installation
or just the SQL EM tool.

Sincerely,

Anthony Thomas

When I attempt to attach a database using the wizard in the manager, I get
the following error when I click on the button to select MDF file of
database to attach:
The instruction at "0x41d53c0a" referenced memory at "0xffffffff". The
memory could not be read.
I've reinstalled SQL SP3a and Windows 2003 patches. Is this error a result
of a memory hardware problem or a conflict with another installed
application?
How can I resolve the problem since I am unable to use the manager for this
function?
thanks.
