You are the second one this week with "invalid memory access" problems, must be an epidemic. Four things you might check into: 1. ::: Start / Settings / Add/Remove Programs ,,, find and select "Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Tools (or something similar),,,, click on the Add/Remove button ,,,, on the left side of the window that pops up will be three options ,,, select the one "Repair Internet Explorer" ,,, click OK (if you do not have this utility, cancel out of there and do nothing) If this repair utility encounters a problem it can not fix by itself, it will stop and give you a description of what is wrong , click on "Details", be sure and write it down so we can get it fixed. The utility will abort until the problem is fixed. Lets see if this maneuver will fix the problem or at least turn up something. 2. Do a search for Wsock32.dll and see if you have multiple copies other than the one required in the C:\Windows\System folder. If you find multiple copies, rename all but the one in Windows\System folder. 3. Graphic card drivers outdated. Right click My Computer icon, Properties, Performance tab, Graphics button and move the slider two notches to the left, OK your way out and reboot. If solved, updated your display adapter drivers from the manufacturer's website. (be sure to return the slider to where it was) 4. Rules damage or illogical rules.
