I believe the real problem is Win98. Even if your PC vendor says the computer is Win98 compatible it may not be. I've seen similar problems on different machines and reverting back to Win95 works like magic. Good luck.

I have the similar problem but I was getting the invalid page fault with Win 95. I thought by installing Win 98 it might clear it up but it is still there. I only get it when I close IE4 after opening multiple browser windows in IE4. Many times this multiple I speak of is two windows.

It did clear up for awhile when someone suggested that I update my video drivers. But about a month later the error came back.

I have had similar problems. For one reason or another video drivers get corrupted and reinstallation has resolved the problem at least temporarily. (the reinstallation can correct certain registry errors.) Also I have been told that screen savers can be a source of some problems.

THIS PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS WHEN YOU HAVE A ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE (EX:- MCAFEE) OR A DISK UTILITY RUNNING WHICH INTERFERES WITH SOME FILES OF IE4/IE5.

IN MOST CASES UNINSTALLING THE OTHER BROWSER/UTILITIES FIXES THE PROBLEM. I WILL COME OUT WITH A FIX TO THE PROBLEM SOON. I DONT THINK IT HAS TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE OPERATING SYSTEM, I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BROWSER

Microsoft's position is now and has always been that there are no bugs in it's software and what incompetent users see as bugs are actually "features".
There is a great deal of repeated documentation on this, including interviews with the wunderkind b. gates.
Have no doubt that the Iexplore "feature" is affecting tens of thousands of computer users. Why are they all running around like chickens with their heads cut of? Because it is more fun for the wunderkind to watch all the peasants feel helpless than to post one simple stinking message that would resolve the problems, er "feature".

I have the same problem with windows 98 -- however, it happens when I close the last browser window only! The suggestion for updating video drivers is good and I will try it. MS says that it also happens when you quit IE after running a Java program!

I too had the same error. I tried re-installing my video drivers (ATI) to no avail. I then shutdown VShield (McAfee) and no problem. It scares me to run around the net without a VS, but at least I can move around. I'm trying to search for an answer from McAfee, but no luck so far.

In my case this error won't affect that I use the browser, but wont let me shut my computer down and I have to watch this anoying message. It seems that happens when the browser is still trying to retrieve info from a site and I close the page or try to close any way. The task manager gets disabled when this happens. Hopefully we can get an answer soon.

I get "IEXPLORE caused invalid page fault at unknown module" every time IE5 is shutdown. Running 98 SE. Disabling McAfee, reloading ATI drivers, reinstalling 98 SE did not help. Trouble started fairly soon after upgrading from 95. Still searching for solution.

Frustrated IE user April 26, 2000 at 02:04:24 Pacific

Follow the link below for information provided by Microsoft regarding the problem. Below the link, I also pasted the document, but the link might have update information. Good luck!!!

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/ARTICLES/Q155/1/16.asp

IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, you should first make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat). Both are hidden files in the Windows folder.

SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Internet Explorer to access the Internet, you may receive the following error message:

IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in module Kernel32.dll
NOTE: If you receive an error message about Explorer caused an invalid page fault in module Kernel32.dll, the troubleshooting steps in this article may not work for this error message. Please click the following link to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for troubleshooting steps and information about the error message:

http://search.support.microsoft.com/kb

CAUSE
This problem can be caused by any of the following situations:

One or more dynamic link libraries (DLLs) are located on the desktop.


Internet Explorer's internal Java Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is enabled, and the Web page you are loading contains a Java program that is incompatible with the compiler.


Internet Explorer is configured to automatically use items that show active content, and the Web page you are loading contains active content that is not functioning properly.


The third-party display driver you are using is damaged or incompatible with Windows.


You are using Active Server Pages (ASP) to perform an ODBC query on a database on an Internet Information Server (IIS), or you are running a large ASP file while Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) security is enabled.

RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use the appropriate method:

Configure Windows so that DLLs are not hidden, and then rename or move any DLLs located on the desktop. To configure Windows so that DLLs are not hidden, follow these steps:


Double-click My Computer.


On the View menu, click Options, and then click the View tab.


Click to select Show All Files, and then click OK.


To rename a file on the desktop, use the right mouse button to click the file, click Rename on the menu that appears, type the new name for the file, and then press ENTER. To move a file on the desktop, drag the file from the desktop to a folder on your hard disk in My Computer or Windows Explorer.


Disable Internet Explorer's internal Java JIT compiler. To do so, click Options on the View menu in Internet Explorer, click the Advanced tab, and then click the Enable Java JIT Compiler check box in the Active Content area to clear it.

For additional information about troubleshooting problems with Java programs in Internet Explorer 3.0, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q168806 Troubleshooting Java Problems in Internet Explorer

Configure Internet Explorer so that it does not automatically use items that show active content, such as vertical marquees or animations. To do so, click Options on the View menu in Internet Explorer, click the Security tab, and then click the Enable ActiveX Controls And Plug-Ins check box in the Active Content area to clear it.

For additional information about troubleshooting problems with active content in Internet Explorer, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q154036 Troubleshooting Active Content in Internet Explorer

Configure Windows to use the Standard Display Adapter (VGA) or Super VGA display adapter type. To do so, follow these steps:


In Control Panel, double-click Display.


Click the Settings tab, and then click Change Display Type.


In the Adapter Type area, click Change, and then click Show All Devices.


Click (Standard Display Types) in the Manufacturers box, click Standard Display Adapter (VGA) or Super VGA in the Models box, and then click OK.


If the problem does not occur after performing these steps, the third- party display driver you are using may be damaged or incompatible with Windows. If the display driver is damaged, you may be able to work around the problem by reinstalling the driver from the disk provided by the hardware manufacturer. If the problem continues to occur after reinstalling the driver, contact the driver's manufacturer to inquire about protected-mode drivers for your display adapter for use with Windows.

NOTE: If you are running Internet Explorer 4.0 or 4.01, you may be able to work around this issue by uninstalling the Windows Desktop update component. For information about how to do so, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q165695 How to Add or Remove Windows Desktop Update
For additional information about troubleshooting problems with active content in Internet Explorer, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q154036 Troubleshooting Active Content in Internet Explorer

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

NOTE: For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note that you should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat) before you edit the registry.

Change the value of the BufferingOn value to "1" in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\ASP\ Parameters

Same problem here. When I close IE5.5 (yes, I know it's BETA, but it happened under 4.0, 5.0, and 5.01 too), I get an IPF at 0167:bff87ede. I cannot close the crash-box either! This has happened under Win 95B, and continued under 98SE, although I can shut down my system without a scandisk since upgrading OS. I have deleted the swap file, disabled the Java JIT compiler, and reinstalled my video drivers (S3 Inc. 765).

I noticed the problem is intermittant, and seemingly unrelated to any specific sites. I think it's a bug, but Microsoft doesn't know the concept because their programmers are PERFECT. After all, they wouldn't have exercised their monopolistic power without giving us a reliable product, right?

Any suggestions? Any luck? Any SOLUTIONS?

Here is another:

choose a search on all MS products using the 'Specific Article id' option.

Basically, you might want to try deleting your history file using the method suggested by ms.

I am also getting an "IEXPLORER CAUSED AN INVALID PAGE FAULT in KERNEL32.DLL at" intermittently. Reinstalled and upgraded display drivers, deactivated the JIT compiler and did anything suggested by MS knowledgebase.

I wonder what would happen to MS if the same standards of conducting business is applied to MS as it is applied to the rest of the business world in the US in regards of delivering a defective product. (like FORD and BRIDGESTONE for example)

I was receiving 3 three invalid page fault errors at unknown whenever I would start Internet Explorer (quite the pain in the ass). I renamed advert.dll to advert.old and no more problems (or so it seems).

Same problem. Why waste all of our valuable time working around Microsoft's bugs. I got frustrated and switched to NETSCAPE on the offending computer. So far so good. If Microsoft wants me to switch back then email me with a fix. Preferably one that does not require a 45 minute call to tech support. Fed up!
