Hi, I am getting an explorer.exe - Application error whenever I try to open windows explorer, control panel, my computer, etc. It says:

"The instruction at '0x77f91658' referenced memory at "0x63b56161'. The memory could not be 'read'.

Does anybody have any ideas what is causing this error, and how/if I can fix it?

Thanks,
Stewart
 
I ran a windows memory diagnostic test, and it said my memory was fine. Are there any other possibilities, or could my memory still be corrupt?

Thanks,
Stewart
 
I have had this error before with different applications. After a lengthy troubleshooting process I found that the problem was caused by an HP Laserjet 2200 PCL6 printer driver. I removed the printer driver and the errors went away.
