Microsoft Visual C++ Studio 6 Standard  error

MSDEV.exe Application Error The instruction at 0x73dd11c7 referenced memory at 0x00000004. The Memory could not be "read"

I get the above error when I select the "Open" in the upper left "File" menu and the software Crashes

This is in Microsoft Visual C++ Studio 6 Standard

Solution: Microsoft Visual C++ Studio 6 Standard  error

I'd suggest to get the latest service pack for VS6, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/194022/en-us ("Visual Studio 6.0 service packs, what, where, why") - or directly at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718364.aspx ("Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 6")
