Application Error - memory could not be "read"

[Picko]

When loading or updating a large Excel spreadsheet (1.5MB) I occasionally get this error.

------------------------------------------
Microsoft Excel - <filename>: excel.exe - Application Error

The instruction at "<hex address>" referenced memory at "0x000000000". The memory could not be "read".

Click on OK to terminate the application
------------------------------------------

This is happening on 2 different machines both running Windows NT4, one with SP5 and one with SP6 installed.

(I have also got the same error installing some Oracle software off a CD on to a 3rd PC).

Did you ever get this fixed?

It was faulty RAM. We replaced the ram and they have been fine ever since.
