According to MS, the "Memory could not be written" error is to do with an OS error & suggests updating your software.

However, we all know how usefull MS are, even when it comes to their own products.

A quick google search turned up several pages or rubbish results, that said, a fair majority suggested the user disabled DEP. This appeared to solve their issue(s).

I`ll try the DEP after I`ve solved my defrag problem.

Like you I was hunting around google and found someone had the same problem and defragging solved it. So I tried the default Windows defrag and got this -

As you can see the majority of the problem is Steam Apps, and Windows defrag can`t move them. But I`ve since found that Diskeeper 2008 can solve this.

I`ll let you know how I get on.

This had better work. I don't want to miss seeing you play some class apart from Engie

It seems to be working

I`ve been running Diskeeper for 2 days now and it says I only have 2 files that need defraging now. I popped onto 2fort this morning and change class about 20 times with no crashes! Plus the PC seems to be running better now so watch out Cole I`m after you

You using the full version of Diskeeper or the 30-day trial version?

[Zolaofthecrypt]

30 day trial atm, I might register when the 30 days are up.
