I'm trying to add rasters to a mosaic - I was initially trying to do this by background processing but I was receiveing an error - I've followed the advice of this article (http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/38695) (turning off background processing/turning off the option to add geoprocessing results to the display) but I still can't get it to work - now instead of returning an error message ArcMap just shuts down with no warning.

1You're experiencing a 'really bad crash'. Because BG is a separate process, when it crashes you don't lose ArcMap. When you turn BG off, ArcMap runs the tool and crashes. Which version are you running? I show the bug in the KB as fixed in 10.0sp2. If you're using newer than that it could be a new bug, probably data specific. – KHibma May 26 '15 at 20:37

Ah, that makes sense. I'm running 10.2.2 so I guess it might be a new bug. – Katie Threadgill May 27 '15 at 12:25

Besides the workaround suggested in the answers, I can only suggest logging a support ticket and submitting the data (if thats an option for you) so we can try to fix it. – KHibma May 27 '15 at 12:53
using Arcmap 10.1 you can use an alternative option:
- add your all geo-refed raster in a new arcmap
- define the projection properly in the data frame properties
- Go to windows menu and click on image analysis.
- In image analysis tool select all your rasters and click on mosaic button present in a window below named "processing".
- A temporary raster add in table of contents, finally export it in tif or img format because you have 16bit data.
