Hey guys and gals,
I'm new to the forum but have joined out of desperation.
Hope you all show what you're made of and help me through this one. I have looked everywhere, through forums and chat rooms, etc and have yet to come across a solution.
I recently built a system (I think about 99% of tech issue posts start this way). Anyways, here are the basics:
ASUS P5K DELUXE/WIFI-AP P35 R Motherboard
1GX2|KST KHX8500D2K2/2GR RT Kingston RAM (1066)
CPU INTEL|C2Q Q6600 2.40G 775 8M R Processor
And the other usual stuff.... Dvd Rom, card reader, blah, blah.
Next, I installed windows pro x64. Here's my issue (and it has happened several times now):
Everything works fine at first. The first time I loaded windows, it worked fine for a couple of days, most recently, it worked fine for a couple of weeks. Eventually, at some time after installing windows x64 I start to get this error message (See subject) concerning one or more applications (e.g media player, my graphics card console, IE x32) when windows starts up and then again when I try to open (or uninstall) the respective program. It forces me to "end the application" every time. The only way I have found to deal with this is to re-install windows (which needless to say is not so great to do every couple of weeks). I dont think it has anything to do with programs I am installing because it happens with different programs and sometimes all programs are affected and sometimes only certain programs are affected. I want to think that it has something to so with the WOW64 emulator. When this starts to happen, I notice that in the task menu (processes tab) it starts to list APPLICATION " *32" whereas before I never saw a 32 anywhere. Also, whenever this happens, IE x64 always continues to work (even if nothing else does).
I appreciate any help, advice, or thoughts you can give me.
