I am getting a similar problem, except I get "memory
could not be "written". This occurs when I try to access
certain graphics files (which I've never had trouble with
before) on my new computer. It dumps me out of Windows
Explorer to the desktop every time.

I have a Dell Dimension 8300, 3.2GB processor, 1GB RAM,
and a Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card. I have Spybot, Ad-
Aware, Zone Alarm Pro, and I Hate Spam, update often, and
am virus-free. I have tried "sfc /scannow", "chkdsk
c: /f", and downloading the Microsoft patch mentioned as
a possible fix. Still no luck... Reinstalling Windows
seems like an overall broad brush "fix anything and
everything" solution, which doesn't address the specific
error. I'd really like to find a solution that explains
WHAT is happening and WHY it's happening before I just
give up and reinstall. Any suggestions?

I have found this to be a problem in many systems that have been upated to
XP SP1, regardless of hardware configuration. It involves an earlier patch
MS released that causes explorer.exe to shutdown and restart. It also
involves the winlogon.exe module as noted in the events log under
Administrative Tools.

It took me about six months looking for and asking for remedies and I have
found that a forthcoming patch in the SP 2 answered my delimma. Click on

#appliesto, scroll down and read what this patch does and click Duser.dll to
download the patch.

I worked for me and I hope this will answer your dilemma.
