This message means that the requested data was not found in memory. This can be caused by a number of things. Here's a few things you can try to resolve the problem.

Have you installed any new hardware recently; specifically any RAM? If so, try uninstalling it and see if the problem goes away. Defective RAM (any RAM) is usually the culprit in these cases. Even if you haven't installed any new RAM lately, this is a good area to check out as your existing hardware may be failing.

You may have a corrupted NTFS volume. Try running checkdisk (Chkdsk /f /r) to find and repair any problems on the volume.

Are you running any antivirus software? If so, try disabling it. If the problem goes away check with the manufacturer to see if there are any updates for the software.

If you have a SCSI hard drive, check to make sure there are no problems between the SCSI controller and the drive.

You can also check the System log in the event viewer for more information to help pinpoint the trouble area as there may also be a problematic service running that's causing the problem.

Hopefully one of these steps will help you correct the problem. If not, please send us more details regarding the error message(s) you receive and anything pertinent you've found in the System log.

Best wishes! Please let us know how you make out with this issue.
