Internet Explorer Error Memory Can't Be Read
memory could not be read" With Windows, you never know what crazy error message will one day pop up and scare the heck out of you! One error message that I have seen on a clients machine recently was: Instruction at 0x000 referenced memory at 0x000. The memory could not be read. Wow! What the heck does that even mean!? Well, just like most Windows errors, it can be a LOT of stuff. This error can be caused by bad memory, a bad CPU, older drivers, hardware conflicts, and a bunch of other stuff! With this type of error, you basically have to try a bunch of things and see if something works. Also, think logically about each solution.

If you’re using something like that, try uninstalling and see if the problem goes away. If you have anti-virus software or any type of real-time Internet traffic scanning software, make sure to disable it and see if the problem goes away. If a program is scanning web traffic, you can get the referenced memory error. Method 3 – Update drivers and install latest patches Depending on your hardware, you may be getting the error because you computer is not using the most up to date drivers.
