Read/WriteProcessMemory Error on winxp Home - HELP!

[b_d...@hotmail.com]

A friend of mines Windows XP home edition with AMD 2ghz, 256 Ram, CD &
DVDRW gives this error message everytime you click on any programme you
get this message:
only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was
completed.

What could be the cause of this error?

Did some googling some say it could be down to a IO error and need to
change cd rom IDE setup or something along these lines.

Any help welcome.

Many thanks

I'm not a windows expert any more: sounds like a hardware issue. Try (iirc)
"mtest86". Better still (if you've unix or cygwin), hit bzip2 whilst
compiling an intensive C++ program (with g++). bzip2 (the unix version at
least) specifically whacks out a memory query when the checksum fails.
"mtest86" doesn't load the machine any way near as much as bzip2/gcc combo.

Thanks for that.

Did a clean install and its working fine.
