IEXPLORE page fault

Hi All,

I'm new to all this and at my wit's end and in need of help. I have spent the better part of today trying to fix this problem.

I bought a digital camera yesterday (Nikon Cool Pix 2100) and installed NikonView to be able to view/download pics from the camera onto my computer. Since installing that program, it appears to be screwing up my internet - although it could just be coincidence.

I have a PC that runs on Windows 98SE and Internet Explorer 5.5.

When I go to start up internet, an error window pops up --

'Microsoft Internet Exploreer has encourtered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'

If I unclick 'restart microsoft explorer' option and then hit ‘don’t send error report’ I'll get another window that pops up that reads --

‘Iexpolore – This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.'

If I hit 'details' on this window, I get this ---

IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in module <unknown> at 0000:490eb62c.

Bottom line is that if I do the above steps, I can eventually connect to the internet, but it's a slow process and I have difficulty opening more than 1 window or being able to follow links on webpages.

 

Have you ran a good spyware clean up lately

Try clearing out all your old temporary internet files, and internet cache

Have you got all the latest updates for internet explorer and Windows

What Anti -Virus are you using and is it up to date

Just a few of the basics but best get them out of the way first

 

Not 100% sure but that sounds like a nasty to me.

Billy G usually doesn't apologize like that
