We are running Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2. When I login I get the following messagebox twice
"Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."
Below are the steps I have tried and still get the error when I login
Disabled all Non-Microsoft Service and reboot the server
Disabled all startup items from msconfig and reboot the server
Repaired .Net Framework 3.5 SP1
There are no event in either Application of System log indicating the cause of the error message
My question is how do I stop these error messages and find out which application is throwing them. Are there utilities out there to diagnose the problem.
Thanks for your help and helping a newbie to the IT Field

When you get the messagebox on the screen, if you bring up task manager, and then select go to process, you should be able to see the process responsible for the display of the messagebox. That is to say from the "Applications" tab select the messagebox in task manager and then select go to process

I have a webjob that I'm debugging locally as a console app. But once I stop the code from within VS2017 I'm unable to recompile the exe as I get the following error
Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\******.******.exe" to "bin\Debug\******.******.exe". Access to the path 'bin\Debug\******.******.exe' is denied.
When I look at the processes that are running theres nothing there that jumps out.
I've closed VS and restarted it, but thats not cleared the issue.
Other than restarting my machine is there anything else I can try?
You can use the Windows Resource Monitor tool. Once opened, navigate to the CPU tab and enter the full path of the .exe (e.g. C:\Project\bin\debug\App.exe) in the Search Handles text box in the bottom-mid right corner and search. You should see the list of processes currently locking on the particular resource (in this case, the .exe). Select all the unwanted processes, right-click and end process. Depending upon on the version of Windows you are running, the experience might differ a bit but the general idea is more or less the same.
When I try to debug in Visual Studio I get the error message:
Unable to copy file "C:\Users\Name\Dropbox\Company Name\Development\Product Name 4 - Release Candidate\packages\MahApps.Metro.1.1.2.0\lib\net45\MahApps.Metro.dll" to "bin\Debug\MahApps.Metro.dll". The process cannot access the file 'bin\Debug\MahApps.Metro.dll' because it is being used by another process. Product Name 4 - Release Candidate
How can I fix this error?
This happens all the time in Dropbox. Dropbox does some occasional (very brief) locking of files as it is indexing them, and if you happen to attempt to open a file handle with the write attribute set at the same moment, the program will receive a file I/O exception (this can happen to your own code as well, so if you regularly work in Dropbox, be sure to handle that gracefully).
Try compiling/running it again and see if the problem goes away. If not, then you likely still have an instance of your application running in the background. This can occur if your program ever forks. VS will terminate the original process, but often not forked processes from it. Check task manager to be sure. It will be listed as a background process in Windows 8/8.1
I just stopped an Application Pool in IIS. When trying to start it, IIS complains that,
The service cannot accept control messages at this time. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080425).
What gives? Whence did this error come?
Looking at the Event Viewer > System shows these warnings:
A worker process '1456' serving application pool 'MyAppPool' failed to stop a listener channel for protocol 'http' in the allotted time. The data field contains the error number.
A process serving application pool 'MyAppPool' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '10592'. The data field contains the error number.
A process serving application pool 'MyAppPool' exceeded time limits during shut down. The process id was '10516'.
This resolved itself after about 5-minutes, at which point we tried to restart the website, and received:
The World Wide Web Publish Service (W3SVC) is stopped. Web sites cannot be started unless the World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC) is running.
So, we started the W3SVC service, and then we could start our website.
This helped me: just wait about a minute or two.
Wait a few minutes, then retry your operation.

The error message could result due to the following reason:
The service associated with Credential Manager does not start.
Some files associated with the application have gone corrupt.
Please follow the steps mentioned below to resolve the issue:
Method 1:
Click on the “Start”
In the text box that reads “Search Program and Files” type “Services”
Right click on “Services” and select “Run as Administrator”
In the Services Window, look for Credential Manager Service and “Stop” it.
Restart the computer and “Start” the Credential Manager Service and set it to “Automatic”.
Restart the computer and it should work fine.
Method 2:
1. Run System File Checker. Refer to the link mentioned below for additional information:

In my case, the VS debugger was attached to the w3wp process. After detaching the debugger, I was able to restart the Application Pool
I stopped the IIS Worker Process (in task manager), and then started the IIS again.
It worked.
I killed related w3wp.exe (on a friends' advise) at task manager and it worked.
Note: Use at your own risk. Be careful picking which one to kill.
Restarting the machine worked for me but not every time.
If you are really stuck on this then follow below steps
Open Task Manager
A window will open. Click on Details tab.
Search for the process name you wanted to restart/stop.
Select process, right click on it, select End task option.
A confirmation dialog box will appear. Click on End process button.
Now try to restart your service from Services.msc window.
I forgot I had mine attached to Visual Studio debugger. Be sure to disconnect from there, and then wait a moment. Otherwise killing the process viewing the PID from the Worker Processes functionality of IIS manager will work too.
Restarting the IIS windows service (World Wide Web Publishing Service) and then starting the application pool has worked for me. However, as the top answer suggests it may have just been the waiting that caused it to subsequently work.
I had this issue recently,
Problem statement:
Mine was a windows service that I run locally by attaching VS debugger. When I stop debugging and try to restart/stop the service (under services.msc) I used to get the mentioned error.
Solution:
Open up Task manager.
Search for the service (based on the exe name and not service name, for those that are different).
Kill the service.
On doing the above the service is stopped.
Being impatient, I created a new App Pool with the same settings and used that.
I kept having this problem whenever I tried to start an app pool more than once. Rather than rebooting, I simply run the Application Information Service. (Note: This service is set to run manually on my system, which may be the reason for the problem.) From its description, it seems obvious that it is somehow involved:
Facilitates the running of interactive applications with additional administrative privileges. If this service is stopped, users will be unable to launch applications with the additional administrative privileges they may require to perform desired user tasks.
Presumably, IIS manager (as well as most other processes running as an administrator) does not maintain admin privileges throughout the life of the process, but instead request admin rights from the Application Information service on a case-by-case basis.

We are using C# Application For Developement.
We are using COM component for Rendering and Displaying Image File In ImageViewer.
Sometimes we got Weird System Error As 'A new guard page for the stack cannot be created.'
After this error Application Get Exited.
Is any one have idea why this Error Arise ? As there is no specific case to replicate same error.
Thanks
I was having the same exception but in a different context. I was running a windows service to do some very heavy processment (no COM objects here).
In my case, I found a memory leak in my code that was producing the error "A new guard page for the stack cannot be created." due to out of memory.
I know your question is now 2 years old.. Even though I'm sharing this to help any future reader. VS 2015 has now a nice tool to monitor memory usage during the debug.
-------- Edit ------
Another common scenario for this exception is running out of stack due a recursive call.
Possibly, Windows virtual memory was not set large enough, or not set to System Management.
Open File Explorer > right click This PC > Properties,
Advanced System Settings
Advanced tab > Performance section > Settings
Advanced tab, click Change
Select a drive, and click System Managed, don't forget to click Set.
I had VR games crash on me until I remembered that I changed the page file size to a small size. Apparently my system needed more than 20 GB of ram and that caused crashes.
You are using too much heavy processes using visual studio IDE
I am facing some critical issue which might be interesting for whom , those who are playing with window azure sdk. I have created on EXE which read performance counter data like CPU, memory, asp.net session from system like
queryCollection = ExecuteWMIQuery("SELECT * FROM win32_perfformatteddata_perfdisk_physicaldisk");
and I have aded this EXE in startup task of simple asp.net application which i have uploaded on window Azure. Now when i connecting to RDP of that I can see following errors in my event log as per below.
Disabled performance counter data collection from the
"ASP.NET_64_2.0.50727" service because the performance counter library
for that service has generated one or more errors. The errors that
forced this action have been written to the application event log.
Correct the errors before enabling the performance counters for this
service.
======================================================================
Windows cannot open the 64-bit extensible counter DLL
ASP.NET_64_2.0.50727 in a 32-bit environment. Contact the file vendor
to obtain a 32-bit version. Alternatively if you are running a 64-bit
native environment, you can open the 64-bit extensible counter DLL by
using the 64-bit version of Performance Monitor. To use this tool,
open the Windows folder, open the System32 folder, and then start
Perfmon.exe.
So i am thinking that my EXE trying to fetch performance counter for 32 bit (win32 indicate that) and that will log above error.
So anyone here came across this type of issue , also if my guess is correct then is there any way to implement my EXE logic such way that it can be run smoothly in any environment(32 or 64 bit)?
Hope that this would remain interesting question here!!!
Thanks In Advance
Arun.
That is correct. IIS running in Azure is running 64-bit unless you change it to run 32-bit in a startup task. You could try building it with the Any CPU setting. But most likely the best way is to do something like what the sysinternal tools does. They will spawn a new process that runs in 64-bit mode when needed. Then you can handle both.
I encountered this error while migrating to a Azure VM.
Solved it by using the InstallUtil which is located in the Framework64 folder instead of the one in the Framework folder
