    Hey i'm having an error message each time i start windows regarding EXPLORER.EXE

    "The instruction at "0x7241455f" referenced memory at "0x00000084". The memory could not be "read" Click on OK to terminate the program Click on CANCEL to debug the program"

    I tried startting up with just the basic drivers but that still does nothing for me. Heres my HJT log,

    ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!

    usually when i get errors like that i just reformat my system... reason being i keep all information and things on an external hdd thats only ever plugged in when i want a file... i also use whats called raid on a dual hard drive setup.. use 2 drives for 1 operating system and you always have a spare... my little fool proof way of sorting viruses for good
