Followed your instructions above–same application error messages when exiting applications or browser (Yahoo and IE). ANy other ideas or suggestions? Thanks for your help so far–at least my computer is clean ;-) and I freed up 18 GB by clearing my system restore.

Lets use windows sfc (system file checker) You'd need your XP CD to make this work. Click Start> Run> type sfc /scannow (Note that there is a space between sfc and /scannow) This will repair any bad windows files

Performed sfc /scannow. No changes in receiving application error messsages. Other thoughts?

You may want to try repairing IE.

Try this although I have never used it and can not gurantee its outcome

Did this didn't seem to harm the system but no difference in getting the error messages fixed. Still open to ideas since I've run out of them. Thanks.

I'm getting this same reference memory error 0x00000ba0 with most all apps. Can you tell me what model hardware you are using? I may have missed it, but didn't see it in the posts. It has been a few months - if you have any news can you update me as well. Thanks
