The instruction at 0x0727454d referenced memory at 0x0727454d. The memory could not be read.?

Question

Whenever I close my Yahoo mail program, I get the error message: "The instruction at 0x0727454d referenced memory at 0x0727454d. The memory could not be read." How can I stop getting this message?

Ok, here's the likely problem. The Yahoo Toolbar. This error is mostly popping up in Internet Explorer. Uninstall the toolbar and it should stop. Google Toolbar is also seen causing this error a few times but mostly it's Yahoo. Yahoo chalks it up to 'an unspecified bug' and will work it out eventually.
If you dont have the Yahoo toolbar, it's probably an add-on. In IE go to Tools-->Internet Options and click on the Programs tab. Now hit the Manage Add-Ons button. Disable all of them in the 'currently loaded' and 'load without permission' boxes. If it still acts up, go back to the add-ons section and disable all the items in the 'ActiveX (32 bit)' section. If it stops, try turning them on one at a time and repeat whatever causes the error. Eventually you should find the culprit.
Also look for any add-ons that do the same thing as they may be conflicting. The more add-ons you have the more likely a conflict is to happen.
Hopefully this is what you need. Good luck.
