I do not use MS Messenger but it starts up when I turn on
my computer. Today I am getting a msmsgs.exe application
error popping up every two minutes. It says, "The
instruction at 0x77f58e20 referenced memory at
0x1d84off6. The memory could not be 'written'. Click on
ok to terminate program." Other reference numbers that
pop up are: 0x1d840ff6, 0x77f83aedm, 0x00000000. I have
version 5.0.0527. What does this mean and how can I stop
this error from constantly popping up? Thank you.

Greetings Christine,

Do you have Norton Antivirus installed? Recent versions of Norton Antivirus added a new
"instant messaging scanning" feature, which can conflict with Messenger and cause this
behavior. To stop it, open Norton Antivirus (Right-click on the Norton Antivirus icon in the
System Tray/Notification Area (by the clock), choose 'Open Norton Antivirus'), click Options,
then Instant Messenger then uncheck MSN Instant Messenger and click OK.

Dear Jonathan:

Thank you for your suggestion. I have Norton on my
computer and followed your instructions. So far, the
errors have not popped up since I disabled the Instant
Messenger in the Norton software. I am keeping my
fingers cross and hope that this solves the problem.
Thank you again.

Christine
