This is Micro$oft's standard 'something went t!ts up but we have no idea why' message.

As best I can understand it, it's the equivalent of the old mainframe 'protection exception' fault. Caused by two programs trying to use the same memory chunk. I get them occasionally ever since I installed a Twain driver, and I've followed every suggested 'fix' but they still happen.

The only semblance of a pattern I can see is if I let the machine quiesce before clicking something else, I don't get these errors.
