Access keeps crashing at random intervals

JohnC

Every time I run a query or open a report/form I get the error message - The
instruction at "0x77f58dc5" referenced memory at "0x0070006b. The memeory
could not be "read". Click OK to terminate program. Any one know what causes
this. Access is also taking ages to start up. I've tried a repair
installation to no avail. Can anyone help?

It may be a bad spot on your harddrive.

Repair and compact the database. Try it again.

if still fails: (Maybe take a couple of hours to perform these steps.)
Use the following to fix bad sectors on hard drive
Run ScanDisk against your harddrive. <- Start / Run / cmd [Enter] / chkdsk
/F

Use the following to rewrite data on harddrive, which should avoid using the
bad sector.
Run the Disk Defragmentor application
