Trond's problem sounds very similar to mine. I've got a Dell Dimension
2350 running XP with an 80GB HD with 51% free space.
I ran into problems when I began copying WAV files from CD to my HD
[copying, not ripping]. I got abend errors, primarily like this:
cidaemon.exe Application Error
The instruction at "0x77f51ed3" referenced memory at "0xfffff8".
The memory could not by "read".
Click OK to terminate the program.
This is what cidaemon.exe is:
cidaemon - cidaemon.exe - Process Information
Process File: cidaemon or cidaemon.exe
Process Name: Microsoft Indexing Service
Description: The Indexing Service runs in the background
and catalogues files so that you can search for files
containing a specific text string
Common Errors: N/A
System Process: No

Since I only search on file names, last night [9/4/03] I went to My
Computer -> right clicked on my HD [C-drive] -> Properties -> General
Tab -> then clicked off "Allow indexing...fast file searching".
I then went to the subfolder in My Music that was giving me fits and
checked the files there [played them, right clicked on properties,
moused over for info, etc.]. After 2 minutes, Explorer.exe abended:
Exploere.exe Application Error
The instruction at "0x77f52a84" referenced memory at "0x000000".
The memory could not by "written".
Click OK to terminate the program.
So, I ran a scandisk last night. This morning, [9/5] everything appeared
to be OK. I went to the subfolder in My Music that was giving me fits and
checked the files there. I checked other folders. No abends.
I don't know if this fixed it for sure or not, but I did take a restore
point in the hopes that it did.
BTW, besides scandisk, does anyone know of any utility that will check to
see if files or folders are corrupted.
Any insight on any of this would be appreciated!
