I have a 64 meg dimm which seems to be faulty ( fatal exception errors, lots
of crashes and himem.sys reporting a bad address. Is their a program to
verify that this is the problem and is their any way to stop windows using
the bad address ?

Rab -

Usually when it comes to a bad memory module there isn't much one can do.  One
idea is to remove the module, clean its contacts with an art gum eraser and
reinstall.  A second try is to remove the module and try it in a differenct bank
(e.g. different memory connector on motherboard).

If both cleaning and using a different bank fails you'll need a new module.
