explorer.exe error

[Aaron S.]

hey, i was browsing the network and this error popped up, causing explorer
to crash =/

The instruction at "0x77f52b58" referenced memory at "0xfffffffe". The
memory could not be "read".

does this mean my RAM is going bad? =(

Hi Aaron,

If it happened only once? Probably jus a glitch. If it happens =
regularly, then yes there is a problem. As to the error code itself, =
there is very little information available. One suggestion if it =
continues would be to restart the system, hit F8 at boot and select the =
last known good config.

If you have reason to suspect the ram, then there is a free program =

But keep in kind that a thorough test can only be done with test =
equipment at a computer shop.
