Today I found a random file on my desktop called hs_err_pid3204.log. I never created it or seen it before, so it just created itself. When I opened it it had the following code in it. Can anyone tell me what it is or if it will cause me any big problems. # # An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment: # # EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x255a255a, pid=3204, tid=3028 # # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (11.0-b16 mixed mode windows-x86) # Problematic frame: # C 0x255a255a # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit: # http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp # The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code. # See problematic frame for where to report the bug. # --------------- T H R E A D --------------- Current thread (0x098ad800): JavaThread "Thread-6" [_thread_in_native, id=3028, stack(0x0c070000,0x0c170000)] siginfo: ExceptionCode=0xc0000005, reading address 0x255a255a Registers: EAX=0x00000000, EBX=0x145c1ec8, ECX=0x098b5630, EDX=0x00000000 ESP=0x0c16f7fc, EBP=0x255a255a, ESI=0x145c1ec8, EDI=0x098ad800 EIP=0x255a255a, EFLAGS=0x00210246 Top of Stack: (sp=0x0c16f7fc) 0x0c16f7fc: 0986a1cc 0986a1b4 0986a1b4 0986a1cc 0x0c16f80c: 0c16f80c 145c1ec8 0c16f840 145c2590 0x0c16f81c: 00000000 145c1ec8 00000000 0c16f83c 0x0c16f82c: 0c16f868 06ff2e83 00000000 06ff8189 0x0c16f83c: 1028fa40 1029dea8 1029dea8 0c16f848 0x0c16f84c: 145c1e27 0c16f878 145c2590 00000000 0x0c16f85c: 145c1e48 0c16f83c 0c16f874 0c16f89c 0x0c16f86c: 06ff2da1 1029f538 1028fa40 1029dea8 Instructions: (pc=0x255a255a) 0x255a254a: [error occurred during error reporting (printing registers, top of stack, instructions near pc), id 0xc0000005] Stack: [0x0c070000,0x0c170000], sp=0x0c16f7fc, free space=1021k Native frames: (J=compiled Java code, j=interpreted, Vv=VM code, C=native code) C 0x255a255a Java frames: (J=compiled Java code, j=interpreted, Vv=VM code) j com.sun.media.sound.HeadspaceSoundbank.nOpenResource(Ljava/lang/StringJ+0 j com.sun.media.sound.HeadspaceSoundbank.initialize(Ljava/lang/StringV+7 j com.sun.media.sound.HeadspaceSoundbank.<init>(Ljava/net/URLV+89 j com.sun.media.sound.HsbParser.getSoundbank(Ljava/net/URLLjavax/sound/midi/Soundbank;+5 j javax.sound.midi.MidiSystem.getSoundbank(Ljava/net/URLLjavax/sound/midi/Soundbank;+36 j WWWManager.init()V+6 j com.opera.AppletPanel.runHandlerThread()V+262 j com.opera.AppletPanel.run()V+28 j java.lang.Thread.run()V+11 v ~StubRoutines::call_stub --------------- P R O C E S S --------------- Java Threads: ( => current thread ) 0x09837400 JavaThread "Java Sound Event Dispatcher" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=5516, stack(0x0be70000,0x0bf70000)] 0x09833c00 JavaThread "AWT-EventQueue-2" [_thread_blocked, id=6036, stack(0x0c2d0000,0x0c3d0000)] =>0x098ad800 JavaThread "Thread-6" [_thread_in_native, id=3028, stack(0x0c070000,0x0c170000)] 0x098b0400 JavaThread "AWT-EventQueue-0" [_thread_blocked, id=3280, stack(0x0bd70000,0x0be70000)] 0x09883400 JavaThread "AWT-Windows" daemon [_thread_in_native, id=5764, stack(0x09d60000,0x09e60000)] 0x09882c00 JavaThread "AWT-Shutdown" [_thread_blocked, id=1292, stack(0x09b60000,0x09c60000)] 0x09881000 JavaThread "Java2D Disposer" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=5756, stack(0x09a10000,0x09b10000)] 0x06f7c400 JavaThread "Low Memory Detector" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=4524, stack(0x09610000,0x09710000)] 0x06f7ac00 JavaThread "CompilerThread0" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=616, stack(0x09510000,0x09610000)] 0x06f7a000 JavaThread "Attach Listener" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=4192, stack(0x09410000,0x09510000)] 0x06f74000 JavaThread "Signal Dispatcher" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=5704, stack(0x00b00000,0x00c00000)] 0x06f63800 JavaThread "Finalizer" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=3120, stack(0x09310000,0x09410000)] 0x06f5ec00 JavaThread "Reference Handler" daemon [_thread_blocked, id=3056, stack(0x09210000,0x09310000)] 0x06ec8400 JavaThread "main" [_thread_in_native, id=4296, stack(0x00030000,0x00130000)] Other Threads: 0x06f1b800 VMThread [stack: 0x09110000,0x09210000] [id=172] 0x06f80800 WatcherThread [stack: 0x09710000,0x09810000] [id=2648] VM state:not at safepoint (normal execution) VM Mutex/Monitor currently owned by a thread: None Heap def new generation total 4544K, used 2559K [0x10020000, 0x10500000, 0x10500000) eden space 4096K, 62% used [0x10020000, 0x1029fe20, 0x10420000) from space 448K, 0% used [0x10420000, 0x10420120, 0x10490000) to space 448K, 0% used [0x10490000, 0x10490000, 0x10500000) tenured generation total 60544K, used 49461K [0x10500000, 0x14020000, 0x14020000) the space 60544K, 81% used [0x10500000, 0x1354d5a0, 0x1354d600, 0x14020000) compacting perm gen total 12288K, used 5861K [0x14020000, 0x14c20000, 0x18020000) the space 12288K, 47% used [0x14020000, 0x145d9768, 0x145d9800, 0x14c20000) No shared spaces configured.

Probably just some random error. If java still works, then you dont need to do anything. if it doesnt, uninstall java and reinstall it
