Memory could not be read

Every time I close a programme (most commonly IE7.0, Symantec Live Update,
Windows Help, Word, but also others) I get error messages lik this (note that
the addresses change every time):

The instruction at 0x0574be5e0 referenced at "0x00000ba0". The memory could
not be "read".
Click OK to terminate the program

I have checked my laptop for viruses (Norton Antivirus 2007, Spyboot Seacrh
and Destroy, CCleaner) and the machine is now clean. I have also cleaned the
windows registry (Registry Cleaner & CCleaner), which is now fine. I have
run checkdisk and all is fine. Last I have checked the PC's RAM with
Microsoft's Windows Memory Diagnostic, which reported no problems.

My PC is a Dell Latitude D82O, Intel Centrino Duo, with 2.0GB-533Mhz DDR2
SDRAM memory (2X1024MB).

Other than these annoying error message boxes, the PC works great. Any clue
on what might be going on?

Thank you

Frank,

My God, I feel soo stupid!!! The problem was solved symply by reinstalling
a bunch of utilities/drivers in the Dell QuickSet CD that came with the
computer. When reinstalling my PC last week, I had forgotten to set them up.
What an idiot!!!

Thanks anywhay for your help.
 
Hi,

Able to tell roughly which driver is causing the problem? Am encountering
the same issue as you.
 
Hello Marco & good morning {or good evening, as the case may be}.

a) Has your problem been solved?
b) Reason I ask is that you left your HijackThis post at AumHa "un-answered". I'd left you a reply.
