# Convert scan failed error - "The instruction at 0x%p reference memory at 0x%p. The memory could not be %s."

Sometimes RiSOLVE will fail to complete a task and report the following error:

> Convert scan xxx (ScanPosxxx) - Failed! Error: rimta5.exe returned code - 1073741819 (0xC0000005)  The instruction at 0x%p reference memory at 0x%p. The memory could not be %s.

This will be followed by:

> "Scan "xxx": File "\<filepath.rdbx" does not exist!

There are two suspected causes:

- a memory issue caused by too many tasks running in parallel
- a software bug, which was fixed around August 2025

Update to the latest release version and try the processing tasks again.
