clean install but explorer causes invalid page fault
I just did a very clean install of win98. It worked fine for half a day but
now I get an explorer error message very quickly on the boot which says illegal operation with details "Explorer caused an invalid page fault in module explorer.exe @015f:00401f31" The Toshiba laptop 2655x will not boot any further and shuts down. HELP!!!!!!! I have no idea what I did wrong. I thought the install went perfectly. I have installed many OSs. Thanks, Jenny --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

clean install but explorer causes invalid page fault
I have continued to hunt for answer and it appears that this message appears
if explorer is installed in the root directory. Since I did a clean install, I don't know how that happened, but friend is bringing the laptop by at noon and I will try renaming explorer.exe to see if that fixes the problem. I will let group know.

clean install but explorer causes invalid page fault
Hi PCR, of course I have done a clean install but never-the-less, I have
done a scan and it is clean. I cannot fine any info yet on error message "EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in module EXPLORER.EXE at 015f:00401f31."

clean install but explorer causes invalid page fault
| Thanks PCR, but that link doesn't work.
You extracted a new copy of "Ole32.dll", per that article, & the problem didn't go away? Well... (1) "START, Run, MSInfo32, Tools menu, IE Repair Tool" It produces a rather large "Fix IE Log.txt" in C:\Windows. IE & E are basically one & the same. If this crashes, an over-install of IE is indicated. (2) Over-install IE. Try first without, but I believe it will request an internet connection. Perhaps it is best to let it connect, actually. If you don't care to get this fancy, just skip to step (c). (a) Turn off interfering programs. Use http://www.pcmag.com/ 's "StartupCop" or "EndItAll2". Or "START, Run, MSConfig, Startup tab". Note what is unchecked, if anything. Then, go to the General tab & disable the entire Startup Group, by clicking "Selective.." & unchecking "Load Startup...". Reboot. (b) Perhaps, if you haven't got EndItAll2, then "Ctrl-Alt-Del" & end task all but Explorer & Systray. If this goes badly, start again from top, & skip it next time. (c) "START, Find, F/F, IE6Setup.exe". Click it in the Find window. NOTE: If you are IE5, then it's "IE5Setup.exe". If there are more than one (I have two each), click the one in "C:\WINDOWS\Windows Update Setup Files" or "C:\Windows Update Setup Files", as applicable. (d) Re-enable the Startup Group. That will automatically check all items. Go to the Startup tab & uncheck any noted in step (a). Reboot. (e) Perhaps go to Windows Update, to see whether it now offers criticals. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "Jenny" wrote in message ... | Hi PCR, of course I have done a clean install but never-the-less, I have | done | a scan and it is clean.

clean install but explorer causes invalid page fault
Well, perhaps try it that way in Safe Mode, as the machine will not boot
to Normal Mode. Or... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];249191 Blank Desktop or Illegal Operations Error Message After You Install Internet Explorer (This one temporarily reverts to an earlier version of IE, IF you have that option. I have a detailed write-up, if you want it.) http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293174 Error Message: Explorer Caused an Invalid Page Fault in Module Browseui.dll (This one is an over-install of your current IE.) (1) Hold CTRL as you boot for the Startup Menu. Select to boot to the "Command Prompt Only" (DOS). (2) At DOS... (a) Enter "EDIT C:\Windows\System.ini" (b) In the [Boot] section, change "Shell=Explorer.exe" to "Shell=Progman.exe" (c) Alt-F-X-ENTER (pressed separately) to exit Edit. (TAB to get to buttons. ENTER to accept a button.) (d) Ctrl-Alt-Del to Windows running Progman. (3) In Progman, over-install IE, which basically is E. (I only hope it doesn't ask for an internet connection. Perhaps, select "Custom" & only check the items that have a bold checkbox, to avoid it will want the internet. OTOH, it might be better to let it connect, if your DUN allows.) If you are IE6, "ie6setup.exe" will be in "C:\Windows\Windows Update Setup Files". (You may also use the copy in "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer", which is "C:\Progra~1\Intern~1" to DOS.) (a) In Progman, "File menu, Run, Browse button". Folders pane will be open at "C:\Windows" with sub-folders below it. Otherwise, make it so. (b) Scroll down the Folders pane & D-Clk "window~1". Now the left (File Name) pane should show "ie6setup.exe" (c) D-CLK "IE6Setup.exe" to run it. (d) Skip to step (4). If you are IE5, "ie5setup.exe" will be in "C:\Windows Update Setup Files". (You may also use the copy in "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer", which is "C:\Progra~1\Intern~1" to DOS.) I do not suppose you should run "ie5setup.exe", if you have installed IE6. This one would be only for those who never did install IE6. (a) File menu, Run, Browse button. Folders pane will be open at "C:\Windows" with sub-folders below it. (b) D-Clk "C:\" in the Folders pane to go up one level. (c) Scroll down the Folders pane & D-Clk "window~1". (d) "ie5setup.exe" now appears in the left (File Name) pane. (e) D-CLK "IE5Setup.exe" to run it. (4) Reboot back to DOS. Then... (a) Enter "EDIT C:\Windows\System.ini" (b) In the [Boot] section, change back to "Shell=Explorer.exe" (c) Alt-F-X-ENTER to EXIT. (TAB to get to buttons. ENTER to accept a button.) (d) Ctrl-Alt-Del to Windows. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "PCR" wrote in message ... | | Thanks PCR, but that link doesn't work. | | You extracted a new copy of "Ole32.dll", per that article, & the problem | didn't go away?

Example: W32/CodeRed.c.worm -- http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_99177.htm The following tool can be used to determine and clean a infected PC. Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL -- http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe To use this utility, perform the following... Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS } Choose; Unzip Choose; Close Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS } NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files. C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS} This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode. This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site. The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC. You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode. When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm * * * Please report back your results * * * -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |
