Hello. I am having alot of troubble with Internet Explorer latly. When I run it, and go to any website with a search form, (EX. Ask.com and type in ANYTHING and hit go) Internet Explorer crashes. It says Illegal opporation performed by "CRS32.DLL". Then it closes out. When I try again, the same thing will happen, but this time it says illegal opporation in "KERNEL32.DLL". The KERNEL32 Error reads the following (sorry i can't get the other one) EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 017f:bff7b9f5. Registers: EAX=110065b4 CS=017f EIP=bff7b9f5 EFLGS=00010202 EBX=02c0ff88 SS=0187 ESP=02bd0000 EBP=02bd0024 ECX=110065b4 DS=0187 ESI=00000001 FS=3d0f EDX=00000001 ES=0187 EDI=81689848 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 56 57 89 65 e8 75 04 33 c0 eb 54 85 c0 74 4b c7 Stack dump: 02c0ff88 110065b4 00000001 02c0ff88 110065b4 02bd1df8 bffc05b4 bff79250 ffffffff 02bd1e08 bff7ce23 110065b4 00000001 11008234 110065b4 02bd1e30 What's going on? After "KERNEL32.DLL" crashes, IE closes and my toolbar is cleared and so is mostly everything open. Please help me out ASAP, as this problem is starting to get really annoying, and I don't fell like reinstalling everything on my computer. Thanks alot, and have a good day everybody!

Have ya tried runnin the explorer repair tool?

Hey! I used to have that. Now I can't find it! I'm runnin' 5.0 that came with 98SE. Do I still have it & if so, WHERE?

This is what I found at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q154/0/92.ASP This behavior may occur if your password list file is damaged. RESOLUTION To resolve this issue, re-create your password list file. To do so, use the following steps: Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders. In the Named box, type *.pwl, and then click Find Now. In the list of found files, right-click each file, and then click Delete. Continue until the list of found files is empty. Close the Find window. Restart the computer. The password list files are re-created automatically when you log on to Windows 95. NOTE: If you use Microsoft Windows 95 and have installed Windows 95 Service Pack 1, password list files may remain damaged even after you delete them and they are re-created automatically. To resolve this issue, download and install the Windows 95 Password List Update file: mspwlupd.exe. You can obtain this file from the following Microsoft Internet site: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/

Dear Ryan: To help you, goto Start Programs Accessories System Tools System Information Tools (menu) IE Eplorer Repair Tools That is how you get to the IE Explorer Repair Tool that the other guy didn't tell you (how to). Alright, my guess is that you have a corrupted DLL file. First, make a copy of this DLL file and put it on a floppy from your Windows/System sub-folder. This is where the computer always looks for DLL's, although there may be other places on your computer with DLL's. Now make sure that you get the full details on this file including its SIZE and DATE so you will be sure to get a good copy of the right version. First, to a search on your computer and determine if there is another place on your computer besides Windows/System where the CRS32.DLL file is located. If you FIND another copy somewhere else, check and make sure its the same file size and date and then, DELETE CRS32.DLL from Windows/System. Next, copy a copy of this DLL from the other (different place) on your computer to Windows/System. Hopefully, the DLL will now be replaced by a good copy and the problem will disappear. Case 2: You do not have another copy on your computer! OK, goto any number of sites on the net with downloadable dll's...here are places to check out: http://solo.abac.com/dllarchive/ http://dllstar.hypermart.net/ http://www.windrivers.com/dll/index.htm You can also try and search for the dll at other places like CNET, TWCOWS, DOWNLOAD.COM. The important thing, is to FIND the exact same version of DLL that you have...make note of exactly which version of IE you have. Now, download the good DLL file to a floppy and then copy the dll to your Windows/System sub-folder. Since a new DLL only takes affect when you re-boot your computer, then REBOOT your computer and then try it out. I am betting your problem will disappear. Good luck Ryan!
