Invalid Page Fault in msvcrt.dll

While attempting to upgrade McAfee Internet Security Suite from Version 6 to
Version 7, Privacy Service would not install. I consulted the Knowledge Base
at McAfeeHelp.com and proceeded to perform a manual full uninstall of McAfee
including edits to the registry. Since then I have been getting these
annoying Invalid Page Faults in msvcrt.dll. I’ve consulted the Microsoft.com
knowledgebase and searched through the Internet and General newsgroups, and
have learned a lot. I have purged my system of malware, cleared temp
directories, and downloaded libraries of DLL files, but I still get a number
of invalid page faults per windows session. Specifically Msnappau (as well
as Iexplorer, IE6wzd, Spysub, Mghtml (the McAfee installer), and Msmsgs)
cause an invalid page fault in msvcrt.dll at 017f:7800d707. McAfeeHelp chat
support tell me it’s not their problem till I get IE 6 installed and working
again, but the IE6wzd invalid page faults have me stuck.

I thought I had found the fix based on one of the Win98 General Newsgroup
postings that tied this type of error to a bad VBScript.dll. I had noticed
that the IE6wzd was preparing to install vb scripting support when it
generated the invalid page fault. I also noticed that the version of
Vbscrip.dll was a later version than the one that comes with IE6 based on the
dll DB at Microsoft.com. I also noticed that the size and date of the
vbscript.dll file in my windows\system directory was of a different size and
date that the one I had backed up earlier in the year (unlike that of
msvcrt.dll). I also noticed poor formatting of web pages with an error in
the status bar. I could refresh the page to clean it up but sometimes I’d
just get the invalid page fault.

I copied the backup into the windows\system directory and rebooted, but I
still have the same symptoms.

Any suggestions? Note that I am running Windows 98 SE and IE 5.5

I've made some progess thanks to some prvious postings on the newsgroup from
all of you. I evidently had a corrupted msvcrt.dll. The version number was
6.10.8637 which was not a valid version according to the MicroSoft.com DLL
database. So I restored the version 6.0.8397 from the cabs directory,
robooted and was able to obtain updates to spybot (this used to fail due to
the invalid page fault) and installed IE 6 SP 1 without an invalid page
fault.

However, when rebooting after the IE 6 SP1 install, I received an error
about a missing ieinfo5.ocx file, then the invalid page faults started again
and I cant get IE 6 to access the internet without throwing an error in
msvcrt.dll.

Well, back to the research.

Oh dear,

ieinfo5.ocx is a file specifically related to the System Information Tool.
To confirm, run the following programme (Msinfo32.exe) and see if you can
open the branch related to Internet Explorer, or if it exists at all.

I think you were on the correct track in replacing msvcrt.dll - I'm betting
McAfee replaced the correct version on your system with one of their own
(being 6.10.8637). I became very angry when I read your report that McAfee
Support were denying any responsibility for this problem. Bloody cheek.

This may be one of those situation where an IE repair may assist:

I attempted you advice and here are the results:

First I renamed the other 7 or so msvcrt.dll files on the machine (Note that
the 6.10 version may have come from a Citrx Client install based on the date
of the file) then I uninstalled IE 6, and repaired 5.5 via the System
Information Tool (Note that after a reboot and/or other unrecorded fixes the
ocx error went away and I am able to see the IE tree in the System
information tool) and have it accessing the internet though errors still
occur – errors on the status line e.g. javascript:void(0), errors on page the
details of which are object expected and cThread undefined, display errors
such that the list of languages on the Newsgroup selector pane is not
scrollable unless I refresh (when logging into the newgroup), and I still get
the occasional Invalid page fault in msvcrt.dll as well as other libraries
including stmain, ws2_32, Kernel32 and unknown.

I tried http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;315496 to
take care of the javascript:void(0) error, and IE appears stable, but the
javascript:void(0) will appear with a mouse over of any of the three postings
on this tread from
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgro...oc=NEWSGROUPLN

I still can’t upgrade to IE 6 without losing access to the internet. Does
the fact I have the machine configured for multiple users affect the
implementation of the recommended solutions? Is there a way to completely
uninstall IE 5.5 before installing IE 6 if IE 5.5 does not appear under
add/remove programs?

You may be able to resolve your final problems by reinstalling/updating your
scripting engine.

The latest scripting engine can be found at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ist/webdev.asp

(98, ME, NT4.0) For 2000 and XP go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

stmain.dll is, I believe, an MSN file. Do you have MSN Explorer or MSN
Toolbar installed? If so, uninstall those programmes and test. Their
removal may also help stabilise your system. Once everything is cool, we
can try reinstating those programmes.

I did load MS Windows Script 5.6 for Win 98 with jscript.dll version
5.6.0.8825. Though I'm not experiencing the invalid page fault in Internet
Explorer, the display is still unstable. I need to refresh a page after
initial load when scroll bars are missing or the font size appears larger
than expected. The refresh seems to correct these issues for that page and
that IE session. Any ideas on what may cause the page display issues e.g.
font size, missing scroll bars, specifically when transitioning from a secure
site (reproduceable), but seems random among other sites?

I do have MSN Toolbar. I'll uninstall if I get another IPF in stmain.dll.

I did remove cslsp.dll and Mclsp.dll using LSPFix since these were McAfee
versions. I have not replaced then since I haven't found the need, unless of
course that's what generating the Authenitcation error in Outlook Express,
but I'm still able to access e-mails, so I'm not looking to take that on yet.

It sounds like you may also have display driver problems; update/reinstall
video drivers and try reducing hardware acceleration at control panel,
display, settings, advanced, performance.

javascript:void(0), errors on page the details of which are object
expected and cThread undefined, display errors such that the list of
languages on the Newsgroup selector pane is not scrollable unless I
refresh (when logging into the newgroup), and I still get the
occasional Invalid page fault in msvcrt.dll as well as other
libraries including stmain, ws2_32, Kernel32 and unknown.

I tried
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;315496 to
take care of the javascript:void(0) error, and IE appears stable, but
the javascript:void(0) will appear with a mouse over of any of the
three postings on this tread from
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgro...oc=NEWSGROUPLN

I still can’t upgrade to IE 6 without losing access to the internet.
Does the fact I have the machine configured for multiple users affect
the implementation of the recommended solutions? Is there a way to
completely uninstall IE 5.5 before installing IE 6 if IE 5.5 does not
appear under add/remove programs?

I think you were on the correct track in replacing msvcrt.dll - I'm
betting McAfee replaced the correct version on your system with one
of their own (being 6.10.8637). I became very angry when I read
your report that McAfee Support were denying any responsibility for
this problem. Bloody cheek.

This may be one of those situation where an IE repair may assist:

I've made some progess thanks to some prvious postings on the
newsgroup from all of you. I evidently had a corrupted msvcrt.dll.
The version number was
6.10.8637 which was not a valid version according to the
MicroSoft.com DLL database. So I restored the version 6.0.8397 from
the cabs directory, robooted and was able to obtain updates to
spybot (this used to fail due to the invalid page fault) and
installed IE 6 SP 1 without an invalid page fault.

However, when rebooting after the IE 6 SP1 install, I received an
error about a missing ieinfo5.ocx file, then the invalid page faults
started again and I cant get IE 6 to access the internet without
throwing an error in msvcrt.dll.

Well, back to the research.

While attempting to upgrade McAfee Internet Security Suite from

consulted the Knowledge Base at McAfeeHelp.com and proceeded to
perform a manual full uninstall of McAfee including edits to the

Page Faults in msvcrt.dll. I’ve consulted the Microsoft.com
knowledgebase and searched through the Internet and General
newsgroups, and have learned a lot. I have purged my system of
malware, cleared temp directories, and downloaded libraries of DLL
files, but I still get a number of invalid page faults per windows
session. Specifically Msnappau (as well as Iexplorer, IE6wzd,
Spysub, Mghtml (the McAfee installer), and Msmsgs) cause an invalid
page fault in msvcrt.dll at 017f:7800d707. McAfeeHelp chat support
tell me it’s not their problem till I get IE 6 installed and
working again, but the IE6wzd invalid page faults have me stuck.

I thought I had found the fix based on one of the Win98 General
Newsgroup postings that tied this type of error to a bad
VBScript.dll. I had noticed that the IE6wzd was preparing to
install vb scripting support when it generated the invalid page
fault. I also noticed that the version of Vbscrip.dll was a later
version than the one that comes with IE6 based on the dll DB at
Microsoft.com. I also noticed that the size and date of the
vbscript.dll file in my windows\system directory was of a different
size and date that the one I had backed up earlier in the year
(unlike that of msvcrt.dll). I also noticed poor formatting of web
pages with an error in the status bar. I could refresh the page to
clean it up but sometimes I’d just get the invalid page fault.

I copied the backup into the windows\system directory and rebooted,
but I still have the same symptoms.

Any suggestions? Note that I am running Windows 98 SE and IE 5.5

Thanks, BobY

I think I'm all set now. I dropped the HW Acceleration as you suggested.
That didn't seem to matter much. A friend stopped by and saw that I had all
the anti-spyware running and suggested I disable it. I did that and IE 6 SP
1 installed fine and I no longer see the page errors during web page loads.

I'm currently running through all the Windows updates, then should be back
to where I was before this nightmare started. Then I'll try the McAffee
install again.

Thanks for all your help Sandi.
