Error 1157

I'm running Windows 98 on an E-Machine. I've got Spybot and Ad-Aware installed and all the 98 updates. I get lots of pop-ups and an error message that often "kicks off" the desktop into a recovery mode where I have to restore the active desktop.

I tried to install Spyblaster today via majorgeeks. Just before it was completely installed, I got Error Message 1157, which said:

cannot find input; DLL may be missing ...
File "MSVBVM60.DLL", error 1157

Can anyone help?

 

chk here and install missing dll

Hi Jujet 84!

Thanks for the great tip. I could load Spyblaster after I followed your instructions. But I still get popups and, at the most inopportune times, I get an error messge "invald page fault in module OLE 32.DLL at 017f:7ff7df6d" I tried following the Microsoft suggestion of renaming the offitmes.log and the outitems.log files, but first I had to find them. I couldn't. They don't seem to be there! Do you have any suggestions for the problem? When I get the error message, I close the window and the computer goes into the "active desktop recovery" mode, where I lose the taskbar icons; and the error message may appear yet again!

thanks for any help!

 

Maybe you could try Mozilla Firefox. It blocks popups.

Page Default
Try adding this line to your SYSTEM.INI file in the [386Enh] section:
Increases default stack pages from 2 to 6
MinSPs=6
If required, increase by increments of 2 until you find a value that solves the problem

 

Hey, thanks! I have Popup Blocker installed, but I'll try this other one. But I still get the "invalid page fault in module OLE 32.DLL" error message. Alas!

 

Appreciate, Jujet, but I don't know the way to do this. Can you give me instructions step by step on how to do revise the system.ini file? I don't even know how to get at it!

Best,

dged

 

Man your sure digging up the past follow the directions
1# Edit the system.ini file by clicking Start / Run and typing sysedit and press enter.
2# Open the system.ini Window.
3# Locate the [386Enh] section in the system.ini.
4# Below the [386Enh] add the following line:

MinSPs=4
# Once successfully added Click File and Exit. When asked to save click Yes

 

Hi, Jujet,

Increased the default stack pages to 6 and got the following:

"Explorer caused an invalid page fault in module <unknown> at 0000:004e7f58"

I close the window and, as usual, the desktop kicks into Active Desktop Recovery, deleting all the taskbar icons. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I'm assuming that I can't go above 6 with the page default increase.

 

Yes you can- increase the setting to 12

 

Hey, Jujet:

At default=8, I got "Explorer caused an invalid page fault in module <unknown> at 0000:004e7f58"

At default 10, I got something similar.

At default 12 (the upper limit, I guess), I just got "Explorer caused an invalid page fault at 0000:004daf7a"

So, now I'm stumped. Even with Pop Up Manager I'm getting a pop up called Computer Registry Cleaner, and I wonder if this has something to do with the problem. Any additional suggestions would be much appreciated!

Best,

Dave
