Sysfader.exe - Application error

Hello,

I was trying to use the suggestions from the posts in the thread below, to eliminate a problem in my IE explorer that constantly gives an application error and refers to sysfader.exe - memory cannot be read, but I am not using the same versions of software the above posters had.

Also was trying to find a solution here:

When I look under My Computer/Manage/event viewer/System there exists log entries that correlate with the sysfader applic error message, there is an "Information" log entry that indicates the source is 'Application Popup. I don't know if this sheds any light on the problem, but it seemed like it might.

I am running windows 2000, and ie 6, so I cannot follow the advice posted to "change the visual effects", as I do not have that option under the advanced tab of system/properties.

Also do not have the "disable addons" feature available in IE 6.

I also do not have nvidia graphics card, so that solution should not apply to me.

Does anyone know how I can eliminate the sysfader error?

 

Hello JR,.

Thanks for your welcome, and the tips.


I have tried the advice in that post: "SysFader is used to effect fade in/out of menus and tooltip balloons. If it's persistently hanging-up, it can be disabled in Display Properties -> Effects -> uncheck "Use Transition Effects for menus and tooltips" (note: this is how it's disabled in Win2K; it might be done differently in XP)." - but it did not solve my problem.

I have run Anti-Malware, but not SuperAntispyware. I will try that, and then your other suggestions if SuperAntispyware does not work. Thanks.
