Hi wl,
Here's some more solutions. I hope they help!
1. Allow Windows to control your pagefile at a "system managed size",
and allow enough room for the pagefile size to = 1.5 * your RAM as per:
http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/expertzone/columns/mcfedries/03june16.asp
Another good reference is:
http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.php
2. Test your RAM using:
http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp
3. How To Repair Windows:
Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows:
using this method:

Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall,
plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and
Recommended updates from:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

| >Hi Jimmy,
| Still no luck. I have tried the various steps you sent
| me. I have also restarted my macine and it still gives me
| the following message:AppName: linksmmiii.exe AppVer:
| 22.7.2.191 ModName: unknown
| ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 50ff4d59
|
| It won't let me play more than two holes without shutting
| down - it's getting REALLY irritating
| Thanks wl
