Can someone tell me why my laptop running win 2k professional keep on giving me Application error when i run the shortcut for explorer through my desktop?

The error read " The instruction at "0x013a2a00" referenced memory at " 0x013a2a00". The memory cannot be "read""

I get this error if i try to open explorer shortcut which i create and sometimes when i open my computer. i tried sp3 also but no change. Mine is a P-3 configuration machine with 512MB RAM and 40 GB harddisk Laptop model is Toshiba TE 2000. Can someone help me with some info.plz

Have you had a chance to test your memory? I recommend MemTest86.

Are you service packed to the latest version?
Both SP2 & SP3 for Win2k added fixes for "Memory could not be read" error messages.
BTW - The error lies in them being displayed, there isn't actually anthing going wrong, just throwing up an error message when it shouldn't do.
