Memory error message

rubyjack · Jul 25, 2007

Recently I've started getting a message when I close down an IE6 window.
The message is 'The instruction at "0x6600accc" referenced memory at
"0x6600accc". The memory could not be "read".' Microsoft yielded no
answers. I don't get this message every time I close down an IE6 window,
but I do get it frequently (65%?). Does anyone know what's going on? And
does anyone know if this is a message I need to worry about?

Thanks for any help,
Dan Hacker

Try disabling all IE add ons.

IE|Tools|Manage Add Ons

or try asking them here. x-posted to: windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser

Thanks for the help. Somehow I had overlooked this newsgroup. I have now
subscribed, and see that you have x-posted for me. I appreciate it. Now if
I can just get an answer (cross fingers).

That's an XPsp2 feature, so since the OP started from Win2000
I suspect at most the version will be IE6sp1.

The best you can do for controlling add-ons with it is use the global
diagnostic switch:

Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart)
(Ref. KB298931)

or use a tool such a BHODemon (from DefinitiveSolutions)
for more precise testing such as the Manage Add-ons tool
now provides.

Or just do some clean-boot troubleshooting (Ref. KB281770)
since some other programs which are not specifically IE extensions
are known to cause similar effects.

of IE6 )

It appears that you were right. I disabled BHO's, and I stopped getting the
error message. Took your advice and d/l BHODemon. It showed that all my
BHO's were "benign." So it looks like I'll have to take some time and
disable the BHO's one-at-a-time to find the offending culprit. The good
news is that it appears that the message is a mere annoyance and not a
harbinger of doom.

Thanks for the help,
Dan
