Hi
I am using Windows XP Professional SP3 and I have 2 Hard drives. One for the operating system and one to store my videos (320GB) that I produce using Ulead (Corel now) VideoStudio 11.5+. Everything works fine but when I want to copy or cut or to just view the properties of these files on my second drive, using Explorer, when I put my mouse on the particular file (usually +/- 5,000,000KB) then I get the following message:
" The instruction at " 0x052b415b" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "written"
Click OK to terminate the program
Click CANCEL to debug the program,"

Any idea why do I get this?

I do not know what is causing this problem but I would try splitting that large video file into small files and then check to see if the problem continues. I am guessing that explorer cannot handle files larger than 4096000.
Let me know what happens.

And the logical corollary to John's question is whether that hard drive is formatted using FAT32 or NTFS...

(Hi Ken)
I'm not sure if the system would store a file that large if the HD was formatted at FAT32. I thought of that too which makes the problem even more interesting (if the system allowed such a large file to be written to disk why can't explorer select it) - it's strange.

Ah yes -- wasn't thinking straight. The mouse hover was the clue I overlooked. Since the file over 4 GB is there, it must be NTFS... It's just that I have FAT32 on the brain recently as the Sony PlayStation 3 will only see FAT32, and thus the high definition files it will play (brilliantly) must be under 4 GB... But that doesn't help Stelios...
