Jeremy,
I don't have an answer but I have a simular problem in Win2K:
_____________________________________________
Application popup: XPCOM:EventReceiver: NETSCP.EXE - Application Error : The instruction 
at "0x0789e7a4" referenced memory at "0x077319bc". The memory could not be "written".

Click on OK to terminate the program
_________________________________________________

I'm writing to request if you find an answer I would greatly appreciate a post. Likwise 
If I find anything I'm post t you.

Regards
Kevin
