I, too recently had a bad block of memory error. I had to look in my log file
in the admin site to find the problem. Then, somewhere it said the problem
could be from a driver installed. This happened when I was trying to
"Activate" Microsoft Office 2003 that I had downloaded just to open an Excel
document my wife had gotten emailed to her. ( uuuggghhhn).

Ran Check Disk---said it fixed the prob, but it did not.
Deleted MS Office.
Restored computer to 3 days before install of Office.
Cleaned it out.
Ran Check Disk again---said it fixed the problem.
Ran NOrton Disk fixer---it said there were no problems now.
Seems to be ok, but nervous about it all.

Anybody know if or why the MS OFFIce would do this? And did I really
fix it or just muck it up more?
thanks
