Invalid page faults, stack errors, memory issues

Question

I have been getting invalid page faults in both Excel and AOL - I have refurbished Dimension L400 - i have 128 meg ram. I have already gone into msconfig and gotten rid of unnecessary items in selective startup, I was told by an @home technician that I probably have a bad memory chip or bios problem because he kept getting different readings on the amount of memory. Any new ideas?

If you only get the errors in the two applications listed then I doubt it is a hardware issue. If it were hardware you would be getting the errors in everything. Do you remember making any changes to the system prior to the issue appearing? Have you attempted to uninstall the applications and re-install them on the system.

This happened in Excel, AOL, and Mcafee Virusscan Backweb. I doubt all three programs have simultaneously gone bad

I, too, have been getting page faults, have AOL (4.0 and 5.0) a Dimension V400 and 128 mb ram. My faults have varied from Kernel 32 to to MACXW4.drv.

After testing and reinstalling driver Dell tech tells me my only option is to reinstall Windows. I *did* post this issue earlier this morning (see 12/01 3:05a). The response to my post might help you.

Please let me know if you find any resolution to this problem.

In case anybody sees this my problem was completely resolved by swapping out the memory board. I have had absolutely no problems since.
