Explorer caused an invalid page fault in module explorer.exe
 

I have problems with a computer with win98, when I turn on the computer it
seems that it is logging properly but after I enter my user and password an
explorer error appear telling me that:

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

Explorer caused an invalid page fault in module explorer.exe at 0167:00401f31.

I already tried to start in safe mode but I also have the same error and I
can not do anything else.

Could you please help me?

Try the procedures here -

or

Especially this section at the end:

"If you still have boot problems after you reboot, you should use the command prompt
to edit the c:\windows\system.ini file. On the command line type edit
c:\windows\system.ini.

"Once it is open, change the line shell=explorer.exe to shell=progman.exe. What you
are doing here is changing the default shell (that is having problems) from the
Windows Explorer to the old Windows Program Manager shell.

"Reboot Windows. It should now successfully boot with no errors into an empty
Program Manager shell. Use the File | Run | Browse drop down menu selection to
browse to c:\program files\internet explorer and launch ie5setup.exe or ie6setup.exe
(depending on what is there). Do a custom install and check all the Bold faced
options. When the setup program alerts you that these files are already installed,
tell it to reinstall all of the files.

"When the Internet Explorer Setup program is done and reboots, hit the F8 key to
bring up a Boot Menu. Choose Command Prompt and boot to the command prompt. Once
there, type edit c:\windows\system.ini and, once it is open, change the line
shell=progman.exe back to shell=explorer.exe. Save and exit the file. You have now
set the shell back to the original value."

Hi -

I was reviewing this post since I'm having a similar problem. IE6Setup.Exe,
however, will not launch. If I try to run the repair function from the "RUN"
dialog, I get a dialogue saying that Internet Explorer cannot be repaired.

Any additional ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Try downloading a fresh copy of "ie6setup.exe"

Thanks, Ben.

I downloaded the fresh copy of IE6SETUP.EXE and copied it to the ailing
computer. When I attempted to execute it, I experienced the same result - it
doesn't run.

I should also mention that when booting into Windows 98 (using WINFILE.EXE),
just before bringing up the log on dialogue, it reverts back to a colored DOS
screen issued by Symantec AntiVirus Auto-Protect - "Unable to determine the
location of the configuration files.". If ENTER is pressed ("OK" in
dialogue), Windows continues to the network log in dialogue.

Thanks for all your help.

A look at "c:\windows\Active Setup Log.txt" on the problem computer
might be helpful.

I checked the file, and really could not see anything of any significance.
Two observations, however - 1. File date stamp was January, 2005 -
approximately when I first encountered this issue (without the Symantec
error), and 2. It pointed me to another copy of IE6SETUP.EXE, which I
attempted to run without success.

Another observation is that IE6SETUP.EXE is not the only program that
refuses to run - a number of other Windows programs will likewise not
execute. Also, I opened a DOS prompt, and pinged YAHOO.COM successfully, so
I seem to have my Internet connection.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!!

Can you boot to Safe Mode?
Disable NAV's autoscan on boot and autoprotect.

ALWAYS disable Norton/Symantec Anti-Virus autoprotection before doing any
installation, uninstall, update or repair to Internet Explorer.

Or better yet, always disable Norton.
