Application Error after closing program (only for Windows XP Professional/Home Users)
This is a Prefetch issue that can occur with either low RAM or "just because" when closing a program that XP is Prefetching. To fix this problem, the Prefetcher in XP needs "fine tuning" (The Prefetcher is a cache folder). You need to "fine tune" or "tweak" the Prefetcher in XP as follows:
|
|
1. From the Start Button, select "Run" and type into the Open field "regedit" (without quotes) and press <OK>
|
|
2. Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters] Double Click EnablePrefetcher on the right side of the window
|
|
3. The Value data is probably set at 3 and the PC can not handle three functions at the same time, as required in this case because we are also updating a "Security User File" as the program is closing. The Prefetcher settings are 0 to 3, meaning: 0 = Disable, 1 = Application Launch Prefetch, 2 = Boot Prefetch, 3 = Both App launch and Boot Prefetch. Set the Value data to 0 (Disable) or 2 (Boot Prefetch) and press <OK> We suspect that XP is presuming (wrongly), there are no files to be updated when closing the program, but there are, we need to update the security log files, and this causes the erroneous message.
