The error message that you get is not your fault especially that you have noticed a pattern ("try to play spades online with yahoo"). This error might be cause by the game or the Internet browser. Try getting the latest version for the browser; same thing for the Flash player (see link). As for the ActiveX... I believe that the browser asks you for permission to run some ActiveX. My advice: if you trust the site allow it, otherwise don't.

your error is referencing a memory module that was used when installing the program, and that reference is no longer there....just reinstall java and flash player and also run windows updates....you should also change your virtual memory amount and clear out old system restore points...these can cause the error. You may have to uninstall the java and flash player then reinstall in order to get rid of the error.

U have faulty RAM chip or there is bad sector on Hard Disk drive use memtest utitlity to check RAM and do a chkdsk to trace for Bad sector on hdd. Remove any temporary files, do registry clean and check for any incomplete installation or uninstallation process and update all neccessary s/w like flashplayer, java runtime environment etc.
for check disk right click on all drive icons one by one and go to >>Properties>>Tools Tab>>Check Now and check the both boxes
download memtest utility from here www.memtest86.com.

If you have highspeed internet just do this...
Open your INTERNET EXPLORER
click TOOLS
click WINDOWS UPDATE
Go to windows update and click CUSTOM SCAN
just scan and install ALL CRITICAL updates...
Or just click here to update
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
It will take a little while, but once you are done youll need to RESTART your computer, follow the same steps again because each time you UPDATE there will be more updates...
After that go to http://www.adobe.com and click (GET ADOBE FLASH PLAYER)
Note: (MACROMEDIA FLASH PLAYER is now owned by adobe, so you may need the new adobe one)...
Also make sure you have virus protection installed. It could be that spyware and/or viruses are cloggin up your system.

your hardware is corrupted
i mean most probably your hard disk is faulty,
other targets could be RAM, Network ADAPTER or any other hardware which could be faulty
this error is coming because of faulty hardware
please remove not needed hardware and check it PC runs successfully
i think this will help
