Default Page Fault Error When Trying to Run Explorer

I am using Explorer 6 SP1, with Windows 98 on a Compaq
model MV720. I have been using this configuration for
almost a year now. However, the following problem began
only 3 days ago (I did not install any new software):

At sign-on I am initially able to access Explorer.
However, when trying to access my hotmail account I am now
being blocked with the following message:

"Explorer caused an invalid page fault in Module
MSVCRT.DLL at 017f:78015ca2". Under "Detail" the message
then provides Registers, bytes at CS:KIP, and stack dump.

Thereafter, I am often blocked from even accessing
Explorer. When I am not blocked from Explorer I seem to
be able to access other Internet addresses, but I am
ALWAYS blocked from accessing hotmail.

I tried re-installing Explorer 6 SP1, but the invalid page
fault problem is still present. Re-booting the computer
of course does not help either.
