I Just downloaded newest version of memtest86+ available (4.20--uploaded at 01/25/2011) from memtest.org. I then extracted the ISO from a .gz archive with Archive Manager, and burned the ISO to DVD as an image with xfburn. (I couldn't find a handy CD--extracted ISO after download is a mere 1MB+.) Then, I configured my BIOS for CD/DVD boot, and booted with the DVD. Memory tests auto-started immediately after boot--those are still going.
For this sys, anyway, the problem is solved--at least for now. Memtest86+, via Grub, did work a couple of days ago on my Win 7 Home Premium system. (Floppy and USB stub versions also are available for downloading. For CD/DVD ISO burning, .gz and .zip archives are available.) I don't know if memtest86+ on Linux install CDs/DVDs works or not. Apparently, at grub multi-boot memtest86+ is legacy/incorrect-- alternately (somehow), the programs are mis-configured by Grub. The burned ISO CD/DVD doesn't depend upon an OS, Grub, or an OS install CD/DVD--it depends more directly upon the hardware and BIOS. I'll keep the DVD handy, if needed.
