Yup. Get SPEU.exe from Microsoft. I had the same problem in Firefox. The problem
is in MSVCRT.dll, that's Microsoft Visual C Runtime
library. One of its functions allocates and then releases memory for a C program
(which most system software is, nowadays). It was buggy and Msft never openly acknowledged
that nor put upgrades to that in their automatic upgrades. Use Find and look
how many different versions are scattered thru your hard drive! I found my Win98
disc had 4 and Nero Burning added 3 copies of a different version. You only need
one, in \Windows\System. No, let me qualify that. There are versions MSCVRT10.dll
and such that are specific to programs that were written in earlier versions of C.
The correct version is 285 KB and is dated May 14, 2001. I note this
because tho my copy of Win2K is from 2003 and all the files are dated July 2003,
it still had 2 obsolete versions of MSCVRT.dll with that date. Apparently someone
at Redmond had not gotten the memo.
It's included in a package with updates to 4 runtime files but MSVCRT is the one
notorious for causing blowups:
