Today, after starting Mailwasher, a window came up saying:
Access violation @ address 7FC5634D in module SHELL32.DLL. Read of address FFFFFFFF.

What is this all about?

Give you an example of what an AV error is about and possible causes...

Try re-installing the program, usually makes it go away ...if it's a one off occurrence.

Thanks Viking for your response, all three articles are very interesting.
As far as my problem, when I started up the next morning and used the program again, it worked as usual without a hitch, so the AV must have been an aberration.
