Alright, give me a day to look at their v1.50 source from memtest.org site, which I assume is the same memtest we're talking about. Since the application appears to not call any kernel stuff given that it overwrites everything and normally lives in a boot sector, I don't see why it can't be launched stand-alone.
It can be launched standalone..provided you have a 386+ and no drivers loaded. Just the same as many BIOS flashing tools require.
'crash without any warning' means Memtest.exe doesn't quit by itself (hey, XMS detected, now I cannot start!) but just starts and plain crashes. End user is thus forced to think himself of 'hey, maybe this program does not like XMS driver being loaded!'
A message 'Please load Memtest without any drivers loaded in advance' would be much better as an error message.
I'm talking about www.memtest.org indeed.
By the way, if I'm not around the next few days, then the World of Warcraft account server finally works and I'm playing this MMORPG :)
