1. Windows 7 issue

I have a software update program which searches the server for any program changes and if found moves them to the workstation being used. THis program has worked for years on XP but now does not work on Windows seven. I have a 'Z' drive mapped to the server 'C' which has always worked fine.
The error I'm getting is.
The instruction at xxxxxxx referenced memory at xxxxxxx. The memory could not be read from.
A windows panel then shows up and says the program has stopped working and will notify you if a solution is available.
Anyone know what could cause this? I cannot read those locations ('xxxxx') from the screen print that was mailed to me. If that is important I'll get an enlarged screen print.

Hi George
I do not use win7 but from reviewing the above subject on the web.
I understand that when a program has an error; win7 stops the program and
sends a report back to MicroSoft.
Then MicroSoft will notify you if a solution is available.
I assume that your program is written in Euphoria ver. 4
The only thing that I can suggest ( because of memory error ); is to try to shut off DEP to see if that helps.
Remember that will effect security.
Here is some information about changing DEP on win7

Is your program translated? You might try an interpreted version, which should hopefully at least give you an idea where it's failing. As already mentioned, you might be hitting DEP issues (which 4.0 deals with, BTW) or possibly some UAC sort of issue. Win7 is generally a lot tighter permission-wise, and you might be doing something illegal there, too.
Either way, I think the next step is to get a failure with an interpreted version so you can start to debug.

Thanks for the feed back. We did set windows to allow this program to run using "my computer > properties > advanced > settings > DEP" which did change what was reported. We now get "Restore control file not found" which is not a message coming from my program. This must be a message from windows but I cannot find any reference to tell me what it is looking for.
Any more Ideas? Matt I am working to get an interpretive version on this workstation (I am in SC and this computer is in NM which presents a slight problem)

thanks for all the comments. They did not solve the problem but I did learn a lot more about misc things.
I have found the problem now. I had to purchase a windows 7 computer and trace the program though (as suggested) to find the failure. The program does a "dir" command to look at the server and windows 7 was not allowing it to do this. In fact it returned nothing. The dir command result was empty. What I had to do is go to “user account control” on each windows 7 box and drag the “notify slide” down to "never notify". This solved my problem. It was another of MS paraniod based ideas to remove the "personal computer" from your computer.
Thanks for the help.
