Re: error message referenced memory XXX 000.. talked to my hardwar

M said - wrote - or in that vein anyway - that I did not give him the
complete error message I received (have received), therefore he pooh-poohed
me off - and that's reasonable as he has computers to do (I guess). Maybe
you, as MVP (or one such person - I've spoken to more than one - so you must
be legion) mentoned a "malware" connection re my error - referenced memory
could not be read at 000-XXX-000000000-... (I think that's the whole thing -
my memory is pretty good. If one has "best practices" in place and -well I
have a premium Microsoft product guarding my network/ computers - cost a
bundle and it's worth it (I suppose), and have checked 50 times or more per
week for bugs and slugs and things that carp (is that a tech jargon word - so
many arcane little terms - and who will remember them 100 years from now).
The wee links you have listed in your post reply to my post reply to - well
now it's confusing - but don't want to make you slog through this one - last
one if my cat has her way (: - well I just don't really trust links from
people I do not know - and I know very little about youse guy (or women if
the gender is wrong), so links you give are not a benefit to me (and as I
raised the ier or creted a frowny-face or some such thing herbouts - I really
have no use for a "helpful" tech link to making me better writer or learning
ctrl alt del again or stuff like that. But if, hypothetically, I were to
call MS and ask for a in-home service call, could they do that - assuming I
had buckets of hundred dollar bills (I looked at my "kitty" and it seems
lcking that money right now - but what if - kind of assume I'm wildly wealthy
and (not wanting to buy a new computer every other day) I needed a tweak and
clean job done on occasion - is MS able to give that kind of service?
Self-help, misnomer as it seems at times, might mean just pointing to someone
or something (like a genie or witch or true-blue and honest technical person)
- here - in this MS Windows XP general newsgroup (the one where I am *ploop
ploop ploop ... nd so one per Makes request and command). That's all I can
think of to get the frog to jump as it were - and I do enjoy poking through
the exotic stuff like "RUNDL dll drive not shown and so on" - for a freind of
mine this is like gold - he studies grocery lists re "stylistics" and has a
book in the works on commonplace rhetoric (Cambridge UP 2008).

Mistoffofflees and Maliki (sp), please accept my apologies in advance, I
had
no idea I communicated so badly, except I must say I have trouble punching
the key-board, as I have had eye surgery very recently, and so have issues
with depth perceptionn a.k.a. my ability to hit the right key. Also I
type
poorly, and my spelling only works when I use a spellcheck feature (and
sadly
I did graduate from the public schools of Cleveland Ohio - no, not the
suburbs, not even the Westpark area or the Collinwood area - but the real
nitty places you likely could not drive near-to). Once again into the
breach:

(bulletin)

Start process: string idiom as follows: REFERENCED MEMORY COULD NOT BE
REFERENCED AT LOCATION ... , end of message, close process.

Logical drive failure at 03.04.02007.1435.30 Z.

(end bulletin)


Terse comments are appreaciated (sp); and business is, after all,
business.

Finally, for M&M, here's one little nugget you may (or not) appreciate:
"(Paul Adrian Dirac wrote)... I was awake the night long and knew this was
correct (ref: the seminal work on antiunitary field theory *as in what is
the
positron*) and I needed to get the necessary references, but it was Sunday
and the library was closed."

Postscript (yes I write lots): MSS, I do look for a service organization
(have you one?), and MLK, yes, white-spaces and bullets are always
apropos;
as are market-valued shareware providers and large-scale network ITaS -
but I
only know what I do not know - so what you've graciously offered is not
without merit.

Thanks a lot guys :>{|

I hope you found my word choice succinct, and therefore quite to the
point.


Nowhere in either of your messages is there a real description of the
problem nor a complete, exact quote of the error message. As far as I can
tell you also refrain from telling us what you are doing when whatever it is
happens.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose ads for
malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you
owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
