Rebooted you mean, or a clean Windows reinstall? Well, I rebooted and it didn't help. Also tried disabling the AV(NOD32) but no difference.

A clean boot is a reboot with minimal services and processes running at startup. This means that it might fix your problem, it might do nothing, or it might be a completely idiotic idea if there are startup services that Dolphin needs that will get closed out. Whichever way, it's worth a try, because you can rule out the 'Kaspersky theory'.

Start > Run > msconfig brings up the System Configuration Utility.
On the General tab, check Selective Startup.
Uncheck the SYSTEM.ini, WIN.ini, and Load Startup Items fields. Make sure you leave "Load System Services" and "Use Original BOOT.ini" checked.

Then, go to the Services tab, and check the Hide All Microsoft Services checkbox at the bottom, then click Disable All.

As soon as you hit OK or Apply, you'll be prompted to restart, which you should do. An msconfig box should pop up; just hit the checkbox that tells it to shut up, and click OK. First thing after that, run Dolphin and load something in it.

If it's the same error message, then you've ruled out the possibility that another program is responsible.

If it's a different error message, then it's possible that you fixed the contiguous memory program, but you might need to enable the right service to start up (seeing as you nuked the non-required services for the clean boot). Look in the Services tab in msconfig (this might take time, but it shouldn't be too hard - just look carefully at the names and paths) and add them one at a time or one by one to see if it fixes anything. I'm taking a blind stab at this Services thing, as I haven't been on Windows in a year, but only give it a try if you get a DIFFERENT error message than RAM one.

Also, once you don't need or want to clean boot, go back into msconfig and select "Normal Startup".
