Title: Anyone still got the ashserv.exe error?
Post by: tammy on March 23, 2005, 11:34:57 AM

I have, and wondered if a solution had been found yet. Mine seems to have changed at shutdown from "memory could not be written" to "memory could not be read"  :-\

I occasionally get the error message on shutdown but it is very rare now.

After a long time, I got one yesterday... It's very rare for me (thanks God) so, I won't give it that much worry  8)

Exactly the same for me as what Technical just said...I got it last night on shutdown for the first time in ages.

 If these are the symptoms, then yes, I also have this error at closedown.
 What should be done about it?

Rika, it doesn't seem to be anything we need to really worry about.
 It's not hurting your system in any way; it's just an annoying little bug that appears to be caused by something perhaps not finishing properly before windows shuts down. 
The Avast developers are working to try and fix it.

In other forum I've read that this error could be related to Microsoft AntiSpyware...
They suggested to close this application before shutting down the computer.

I have this problem from time to time and I don't use Microsoft Antispyware.
