I'm running Windows XP SP3 and am having problems with different Windows or Office programs displaying the "Not Responding" message. Excel, Word, Outlook email, and must recently, My Computer and a 3rd party application from Cerner Corporation (Pharmacy app). Task Manager will not kill the apps and eventually taskbar and all Desktop icons disappear.

Usually, I can get into Task Manager to close all other programs except those that are not responding and restart. Other times, either I cannot get to Task Manager or get BSOD during shutdown and have to power off the PC to reboot.

Most recently today, I got an UNS.exe -Application error message.. Instruction at "0x7c809823" referenced memory at "0x01299648". The memory could not be "written".

Is this a hard disc error meaning that my hard disc needs to be replaced or there other remedies?
Thanks

hi,there, have u restored the system before?
and about the [UNS.exe],there are 2 possibilities:
one.if it is issued by Verisign,located in the C:\Program Files\Intel(R) Management Engine Components ,then it's Okay.
two,if it is located in c:\windows or in the c:\windows\system32,it would be harmful.
for the two,or u should apply a security scan onto yr sysetem using a powerful antivirus-software,such as the Spydig,AVG,Avast,and so on.
good luck,be helpful

You may have an infection, so please read this.
Please post the logs in the virus forum.

Could be a bad RAM module. Have it check. If you have spare RAM you might want to swap. On your hard disk. You may do a scan disk or maybe defrag your hard disk. Virus could be the culprit as well. Try all those and see the outcome and post it here.
