DDE server window: SmarTeam.exe - Application error - The instruction at "0X40008a20" referenced memory at "0x04692140". The memory could not be "read".  Click OK to terminate the program.

after pressing the O.k button under error appear:

Hi Tal halfon, 

 

 

  • Which is the operating system installed on your computer?

 

Since you state that KB976576 would be the likely problem for the issue you are facing, I would suggest you to uninstall the update and check if it works fine.

 

To uninstall the update KB976576, follow the steps below.

 

  1. Open Installed Updates by clicking theStart button, clickingControl Panel, clickingPrograms, and then, underPrograms and Features, clickingView installed updates. Make a note of the KB article number for the updates that were installed before this issue started.

The easiest way to solve this issue is to uninstall KB976576 and then hide KB982524 in Windows Update so it doesn't get reinstalled.

KB982524 is the complete patch and KB976576 is the part deals with .Net 2, which is the version of .Net that SmarTeam uses.

 

SmarTeam has conformed that is has a problem with the update and published this:
