You might want to review these two forums : http://social.technet.microsof.....1f076f42c/ http://www.vistax64.com/genera.....0ffff.html They both have differing ways of fixing it, and common thread is CHKDSK for disk errors. Hope they help. Irv S. Reports: · Posted 5 years http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/catastrophic-failure-0x8000ffff ago Top fooBar Posts: 219 This post has been reported. It might be a Windows issue as mentioned above or it could be a hardware problem. 0x8000FFFF is a memory address. When your RAM begins to fail or has a bad section it may work until one particular address is accessed which then causes the program accessing it to fail. If you have more than one memory module installed on your PC try taking one out and then running it (thus testing each module one at a time). Obviously only remove or replace modules with the PC off. Good luck! Reports: · Posted 5 years ago Top Chips Posts: 11 This post has been reported. Thank you fooBar and ispalten I very much appreciate the advice.
