it means that the program was trying to access memory where it's not allowed... 0x00000008 would be in the interrupt vector table, which i'm pretty sure win2k guards jealously (and for good reason). Most likely, the program tried to de-reference a null-pointer (a common programming error, which can sometimes be a real pain to track down). If this is the case, there's not really anything you can do about it.... what program is causing the error?

If it's always that software that does it, then they've got a bug in their program. See if there's an update to the software, as they may have already discovered it. If not, try writing tech support describing the problem, and maybe tell them what i said about it too. Like I said though, it's really hard to find out where you're trying to de-reference a null-pointer, unless you've got debugging information (even then it's a pain in the *** ).

What version of Palm Desktop are u using? You can download the newest version at www.palm.com . I haven't had any problems with mine, but I will have to tell you what version I have when I get to work.
