There are several possibilities as far as resolving this problem.
Essentially the message is saying that some other process has the
memory at those locations locked, thus making them unreadable, or
unreadable, and interfering with Intellisync's processes.
This possiblity is discussed in this post on Experts Exchange, by
sunray_2000, in the Accepted Answer:
"This is not an Access [or, program-specific] instruction that the
message refers to, this is a low level memory read error from windows.
If this is happening predictably it could be:
1. a bad memory module.
2. A conflict with another dll or ocx control trying to compete
for the same memory area."
"If you have Dr Watson running and trapping errors, you can gain
some additional insight into what is happening at the 'moment of
impact'"

If you need to know more about running Dr Watson, let me know.
For the sake of covering all possibilities, is Intellisync a
java-based program, and are you using Microsoft's Java Virtual
Machine? If you are still using Microsoft's I would recommend
uninstalling it and using the Sun machine, and seeing if that
makes a difference:
http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp
Another way to isolate the program (if that's what it is) which
is causing the conflict with Intellisync is the following:
Go to Start -> Run -> Type in 'msconfig' and press 'Enter'
Go to the Startup tab.
Disable all the applications there except anti-virus.
Reboot the machine and check if the issue continues.
If not, then enable one at a time in the same Startup
tab and find the application or process that might be
causing the conflict.
There's actually a freeware program called WinPatrol
which provides an easier way to temporarily disable
Startup programs, called WinPatrol. That, and many
other freeware solutions for Windows security, can
be found on this previous question I answered. You
say you've run anti-spyware software, but in this
answer, you'll probably find some options you have
not considered, which might find something that's
escaped your notice so far:

Yet another possibility is that a Windows file has
become corrupted. There are two ways to fix this.
One is to use the System File Checker tool to scan
all the protected files on your computer:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type: sfc /scannow and then click OK.
You may be prompted for the Windows installation CD.
It's also possible that the conflict is being caused
by a program you installed just before you noticed
Intellisync returning the error messages. Microsoft
has an article on how to use System Restore here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/systemrestore.mspx
Finally, it's quite possible that you have a bad stick
of RAM. You could try re-seating them, removing them one
at a time, or having them tested professionally. Since
memory in RAM is sometimes passed on to Virtual Memory
on your hard drive, you should also verify that your
Virtual Memory is set to about 2.5 times the size of
your RAM, or 1280MB. If you need to know where and how
to check that, please ask. It's also possible that the
hard drive itself is failing, and the program is having
trouble accessing an address of virtual memory because
of it.
You can also test your RAM using a program such as
Memtest86, a freeware memory tester:
http://www.memtest86.com/
Memtest86 can run for a very long time, so I'd try
pulling one stick at a time first.
Due to the ambiguous nature of trying to fix a computer
problem at a distance, especially one which may have more
than one cause, it's quite possible that nothing we try
will work, but a search for this problem specific to
Intellisync turned up no results at all.

Before running Dr Watson again, I wonder if you can see any
useful error messages by r-clicking on My Computer and clicking
"Manage", and then looking under Event Viewer -> System and/or
Application sections.
As far as Dr Watson, I found this post on the Shareza forum about
making it work properly under Windows XP:
"In order for Dr Watson to work correctly, you might need to
disable Windows Error Reporting:
- Open System in Control Panel (click Start, click Control Panel,
and then double-click System).
- On the Advanced tab, click Error Reporting.
- Then disable the Programs checkbox to disable it for all programs
or
- Select Enable error reporting, and then click Choose Programs.
- Under Do not report errors for these programs, click Add.
- Type the program's executable name, being [is4yahoo.exe]"
http://wiki.shareaza.com/static/DrWatson
While this failure across 3 computers strongly suggests a bug
in the program itself, you didn't mention whether you tried a
system restore on the chance that a recently-installed program
might have installed a file which is locking the memory (or as
you so eloquently put it, "something has clobbered something").
Apparently there are a LOT of users who have found the program
unworkable in many ways. One user on this thread from the
HandheldNews forum concludes:
"I suggest NO ONE use Intellsync and Yahoo to sync - too many
problems, no support."
The rest of the thread may prove informative, as well:
http://www.handheldnews.com/chat.asp?ObjectID=11800
Many users on this thread from Geek.com (and other threads
I've found) report that Intellisync seems to have problems
especially with Windows XP. Reading through the thread may
give you some ideas. One post suggests using an older version:
"I noticed that my older version of Intellisync I had at
home kept working whilst the newer one at work didn't.
I tried installing the older one at work and that works
fine now. BAD conflicts first time using it though. I get
a popup box telling me there is a newer version every time
I open it, but it seems to work fine."

Let me know where this takes you...
