“0x0000008E” error on a blue screen in WinXP

This rare (and random) error can occur when a program references an incorrect memory address, causing your computer to crash. This can be really annoying at times and we get afraid as we see the frightening DEATH SCREEN!!!

Solution: Microsoft has released a hotfix,which you can install and run to fix the problem.You’ll need to call Microsoft technical support to obtain the hotfix, however. It’s not available online (at least, not yet). If you only see the error occasionally, you might consider waiting for another service pack release for WinXP, although living with the error is probably counter-productive. For support options visit support.microsoft.com.
The good news is that if the tech support engineer determines that you do need the hot-fix, you won’t be charged for the call.

Note: This is for those who bought the Licensed version. People otherwise - dont call Support without buying :)
