If you are having problems with Windows 98 Explorer giving strange and mysterious errors then I think I know what is wrong. I was experiencing "Explorer has performed an Illegal Operation" errors quite often. The source of my problem was my system BIOS having an incompatibility with SDRAM. I check my Motherboard's site and they had an update that fixed this. After patching the BIOS I have had NO problems at all :) Call your System's Tech Support and ask them where to get an update for your bios. That is probably the source of the problem.
I am having the same problem my motherboard web site doesn't seem to have a fix. Any other ideas.
thanks

Anyone looking for a bios upgrade could try the following link
http://www.ping.be/bios/index.html?http://www.ping.be/bios/numbersami.shtml
as it lists motherboards by manufacturer.

I too had the Explorer.exe Page fault problem in Windows 98. It was a registry problem. I fixed the problem by starting my computer in DOS mode (hold F8). Go to C:\windows\command\scanreg.exe and restore a backup registery from a date before this problem occured.

My Win 98 Explorer seems to "discover" a fault, which causes my whole taskbar with all loaded "Start Minimised" program icons to disappear. I have re-installed 98 twice, and un-installed several programs that I thought were causing the fault - to no avail. Can anyone suggest how to fix this?
Thank you.
