Ashserv error
« on: January 08, 2004, 05:35:30 PM »
Hi folks
Some background.
I had to do a complete format of a laptop and re-installed Windows XP, then installed AVAST.
Input registration key went fine, with blue ball spinning..all seems fine.
When I "Turn Off" XP, I get a application error about ASHSERV.EXE not being able to access some memory space...click "OK" to close application. Whether I click "OK" or not, it goes away and XP closes.
Can anyone provide a reason for this happening and/or a possible fix to prevent it from happening.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Ogw
Yes, all critical updates were done before installing AVAST (forgot to mention that.. sorry)
Hi igor
That I will try to do..it is on the screen for 10 secs, so I have to write fast, or repeatedly do a shutdown to get all the information. I will make sure I come back with that information.
Your input is appreciated.
Thanks

fredra, isn't there anything in the windows events (start > administrative tools > events)? maybe you have your answer there without the need for copying it.

as i can see at the settings, avast seems to have a log viever/generator too, but you may know more than i'm just a newbie.

Hi Ogw
It stopped doing it a few times, then for some reason started again.
Here is the error message.
0x77F58DDF referenced memory at 0x000000 the memory could not be written. Press "OK" to end application.
If I don't press "OK" it goes away and the laptop shuts down.
I will take a look at the "event viewr" to see if there is any notification, but I doubt it as it is after XP says it is saving settings.
Thanks
Any further insight would be appreciated.
Cheers

fredra, I have other threads with avast! and your answer could be useful to 'study' my troubles. I'm waiting for them. Very thanks.  ;)

You are welcome.
I am looking at the dependency service that AVAST requires. It is a slow process, as I have to turn them "ON" if they are "OFF".(one at a time) .run testing for a few days and see the results. If no impact, then reverse the process.
So far I am taking a deliberate approach to finding the possible solution for my specific situation. So far I have no answers, but I will keep digging until I run out of patience.
Cheers

The error  you are getting is refering to bad ram (0x77F58DDF) Test the ram with a prog like you can find here http://www.simmtester.com/

HW problem? Very hardly...
It seems to be a problem in avast, but since it only appers when you shut down the computer, it's very difficult to diagnose it...

Please look to the folder <avast>\data\log, do you see any file which names start with unp there?

Thanks
