Everytime I log off of my W2K domain controller, I get about 5 seconds of continuous keyboard beeps and for about a 1/2 second, the following error message blips on and then off:

ExceptionEAccessViolation in module RegRem.exe at 000222F4. Accessviolation at address 004222F4 in module 'RegRem.exe'. Write of address 00000140.

Hi,
The only reference to regrem I can find refers to a remote registry access tool for use on win 9x \ nt. Do a search on your machine to locate the file, and see if where it is gives you any clues as to who or what put it there (IE is it in a 'program files\acme software' folder. Also check your registry run keys and startup folder to track down exactly what is running it. use task manager before you log off and look to see who is running the exe (IE does it show as localsystem or as youraccount), this might give a clue as to whether your login session is causing it to run. Hope this helps...

Today, as mysteriously as it started, it stopped. I checked the background services and it wasn't there (it WAS there when the problem was happening last week!). The file 'regrem.exe' was in the c:\winnt directory last week when the problems were occuring, but NOW it is nowhere to be found! Totally weird!

Since you were the only one to respond, you get the points! Thanks so much for the info!
