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? |

Invalid page fault
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 -----Original Message----- You have a virus or spyware parasite.

... 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. -- Brian A. Jack of all trades, Master of none. One can never truly be a master as there is always more to learn. |
