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 -
Recovering From a Failed Internet Explorer Upgrade in Windows 98: http://www.cs.bsu.edu/~gjjones/admin...nd ows98.html or http://tinyurl.com/r5ba 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." -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ ~ In memory of our friend, MVP Alex Nichol ~ http://aumha.org/alex.htm http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "EXPLORER CAUSED AN INVALID PAGE FAULT" EXPLORER CAUSED AN INVALID PAGE FAULT @discussions.microsoft.com wrote in message news 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.

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. -- Wayne "glee" wrote: Try the procedures here - Recovering From a Failed Internet Explorer Upgrade in Windows 98: http://www.cs.bsu.edu/~gjjones/admin...nd ows98.html or http://tinyurl.com/r5ba 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.

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. -- Wayne "Ben Myers" wrote: "Wayne" wrote in message ...

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?

ALWAYS disable Norton/Symantec Anti-Virus autoprotection before doing any
