If you are getting these types of errors randomly and involving different
applications (as you describe) then I'm inclined to suspect a problem with
faulty memory.

Microsoft has a free tool to diagnose these problems. It's available at
http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp (requires creation of a boot disk
because the tool cannot run while Windows is running... instructions are on
the web page) - If the tool reports any failures, it's probably time to
replace one or more memory modules in your computer. You can easily do this
yourself if you are comfortable with PC hardware, otherwise it's a fairly
routine job for a qualified tech.

This is just a hunch based on my experience with these types of errors.
Other possible causes include corrupted system files and problems with the
hard drive.

Between this and www.memtest.org, which do the experts think is
better?

I find the Microsoft one easier to use, and the documentation on the
Microsoft web site is probably easier for a less experienced user to
understand (the main memtest page is mostly full of talk about their project
team, their license agreement and lists of chipsets, while Microsoft's
actually attempts to describe how to use the tool and the suggested method
of troubleshooting.) That said, I think both tools are at the same level of
reliability.

Thanks for the info already, but it didn't work I didn't run Mutest I did
run windiagand it showed no errors in about 3 seconds. So it must be
something else.
It shows up every time I shut down.

The error test ran all night [6+ hrs] & showed all was well, but now when I
shut down the following appears:



Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccEvtMgr.exe



R9025



-Pure Virtual Function Call



Close



Thanks

Thanks! I'll bear it in mind for the future.

For my recent troubles, I ended up using memtest, just because it was
easier to download and burn to a disk. Since my own computer was
flaky, I had to use a public computer where we couldn't install any
programs, which ruled out the Microsoft one.
