Default Invalid page fault

My computer has been working perfectly for several years
but this morning when I turned it on the Explorer box
came up to say "this program has performed an illegal
action and will be shut down". Details showed an invalid
page fault in mod. ~5368815274.tmp @ 17flef3a6a
whatever that is. When I click off of this box everything
disappears except the default background green desktop.
The computer will restart but the Explorer box reappears
each time with the same message and nothing is
accessible. Anyone know what the problem is?

Default Invalid page fault

You have a virus or spyware parasite.
Start up with a boot disk
At the A: prompt type: cd c: and press enter
At the prompt type: del c:\windows\temp\*.* and press enter
At the prompt type: del c:\windows\tempor~1\*.* and press enter
Remove the disk and press ctrl+alt+del to reboot

If it now will boot to Safe Mode, Normal or you get other error messages, post to an
appropriate ng for further assistance in cleaning out the machine:
microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion

Include your original problem, what you have tried and any exact error messages with
details minus the register entries.

Brian, thanks for your reply. The windows/temp file
deleted OK but the tempor file was not found. At
ctrl+alt+del the system rebooted but the same explorer
invalid page default box popped up with the same results.
Do you still think its a spyware or virus problem? Thanks
again Rick

Brian, thanks for your reply. The windows/temp file deleted OK


Ok, good.

but the tempor file was not found.


Then it may be elsewhere on the drive. Tempor~1 is the DOS 8.3 file name for the
Windows LFN directory Temporary Internet Files.

At ctrl+alt+del the system rebooted but the same explorer invalid page default box

popped up with the same results. Do you still think its a spyware or virus problem?
Thanks again Rick

At this moment Yes, and more than likely when a temp file is involved with your
situation. Although If you have installed something lately which I read no indication
of in your post, a bad/corrupt install could cause it as well.

Before going further, will the machine boot to Safe Mode? Press and hold the ctrl
key on boot just after the memory count and before the Windows screen to bring up the
Startup Menu and select Safe Mode from the list.
Or continually tap the F8 key after the mem count and before the Windows screen.
