Default Ever seen this problem before in XP open a drive or folder it crashes and goes back again.

Application popup : Explorer.exe - Application Error: The Instruction
at 0x02900bd8 reference memory at 0x000000. The Memory couold not be
written and it is exasperating as I try to move some word docs, excel
spreadsheets would just close again. Dr Watson was also in error as
well

Scenario: Open the folder it crashes but do not freeze it sends the
error to Microsoft and then when I try to open the drive --> then the
folder it happens again. Strangely, other folders in the same drive
just does not happen that way. Only the folder. What can I do?? Using
XP SP2, every single component is new. Tried everything. XP was
installed just about 2 weeks ago and had all the updates installed as
well and patches from MS site. Was working fine until just recently.

I get the same thing and can't remove. It is as follows 0x7c9105f8 reference
memory at 0x019d0010. Tried file search, but nothing shows.

ixplore.exe may indicate a virus infection. Maybe it's time for some
antivirus scans.

Except you mis-spelled "defective" as "generic".

Nothing wrong with generic RAM if there's nothing wrong with it. Any
RAM can be defective, not matter how glossily-branded it is, and it is
defective RAM that suuucks.
