Default Vista Ultimate32 Memory Error

sometimes when i POWER OFF my pc the following error pops up:

"The instruction at 0x768b882c referenced memory at 0xffffffff. The memory
could not be read"

this error is NOT there when closing office applications, not on IE browser.

seems like the band at the top of the dialog box that pops up refers to
"SidebarBroadcas****cher: sidebar.exe - Application Error"

Hi,

Try selectively disabling applications in the Windows Sidebar to see if the
error ceases.

ty rick... i tried your suggestions and almost all the gadgets are thje culprit
- the WEATHER having the longest timeout. yet i need the WEATHER exe
so i change the timeout settings in the registry file and it did worked
excellente.

HKEY_local_machine system CurrentControlSet control \
"WaitToKillServiceTimeout" --- by default this is set to 20000 (i beleived
this is in ms).

higher value will take the application / gadget to close longer. when
changed to lower value, applications closes faster and so the system. error
is now permanently gone (i hope)
