stupid frickety-frackety computers!
My work PC is pissing me off. Yesterday it was working just peachy. I come in today, and THIS starts popping up:
svchost.exe - Application Error
The instruction at “xxxxxxxx” referenced memory at “xxxxxxxxx”. The memory could not be “written”.
And it won’t quit. We thought it may be the physical RAM, so we tried booting the system with one stick at a time. Popped up with either stick installed. I ran Ad*Aware and Spy*bot. Reboot. Still happening. Realized my sound card driver escaped at some point. Reinstalled sound card driver, reboot. STILL happening.
It’s really not affecting how my system is running, (except for the “themes” in WinXP.. the start bar is on “classic” mode, while my application windows are on XP’s “new” themes), but it is down right annoying. The window is “always to the front” of the others, so I have to move it all the way to the bottom of the screen and off a bit so it’s out of the way.. until a new one feels like popping up, then I have to move it again. Grrr.
And I still have to work tomorrow, too. I’m supposed to check what kind of hard drive it has installed in it before I leave tonight, and then leave it on the desk of a week-day shift lead so he can try to re-image the hard drive to see if that fixes it. If it doesn’t, then the HD is possibly dying. Oh goodie. Stupid IBM crap.
