Hello, I'm running Win98 on a Abit tx mainboard, Intel 233mmx,
64mb pc100 ram. The system frequently crashes when I'm
shutting down a program. The same 2 errors seem to generate
each time with different programs. I'm running Dr. Watson  in the 
task bar with all the latest drivers installed for the hardware.
The system is about 3 months new, but has ran flaky from the start.

Dr. Watson results:
1)Win32 Kernel core component *attempted to read from memory that does not exist.  It may be using an uninitialized variable, or it may be attempting to access memory after having freed it.

2)System APIs for Multimedia *attempted to use a null data pointer variable.

* = general error's
 
Does this sound more like a physical memory problem as opposed 
to a software problem? Memory vender say's software, I think otherwise
and could use some advice from the list scholars on your thoughts.
 
Thanks, Ken Cornell
