a lot of applications in win2k seem to crash with this error, i can't even send an email

it says:
The instruction at "0x722274fd" referenced memory at "0x07754364". The memory could not be "read".
CLick OK to terminate the program
CLick on CANCEL to debug the program
i though this was the like the illegal operation error in win9x but it seems to come instead of other errors i have read about on this forum

any help????

Sound like one of DIMM or SIMM is going bad

I believe it's when the swap file is too small. It happens to me when I play UT with only 64Mb Ram, try increasing the size of your swap file to 2.5x your physical memory size. Hopefully it'll work
