| Hi all,
|
| I keep getting the error message ""EXPLORER has caused an
| invalid page fault in module USER.EXE at 0003:00009914,"
| after which Windows Explorer shuts down and freezes the
| computer, necessitating a power off and restart. This is
| is usually related to running maintenance programs such as
| Norton OBC and virus check automatically from the task
| scheduler, though not always. Sometimes it seems to
| happen at random. Anyone have any ideas why this may be
| happening or how to fix it, without reloading Windows 98?

| Thanks,
