Okay, whenever I try to run an exe., particularly setups for installing games, I get this error message. "E:\Setup.exe
only part of a readprocessmemory or writeprocessmemory request was completed."

Anyone know how to fix this? please reply soon.



, Thanks

This is an internal system error 299. After doing a little research for you, I think either one of two things. Either you have faulty RAM, or corrupt Windows file or files. When the error appears, is there any other information? Does it say which .exe file caused the error?

If changing the RAM does not fix this, you are most likely need to run the restore CD. If it is possible to find which file is corrupt, you might be lucky, and be able to replace that file.

I've just come accross this utiltity which tests to see if you have faulty RAM, click here > (http://www.memtest86.com/#download1)

How? - Finding which file? If the error doesnt tell you, might be impossible. Maybe try using the task manager, or download process viewer like this one (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml). This site has other utilities that might help you in tracing where the fault is, but were probably talking serious technical stuff here.

If the memory checker doesnt find anything, just find the Windows restore CD which came with the PC, put it in the drive and reboot your machine, it will then give you options on restalling Windows.
