For the last few months I have problems with MS Explorer in Windows 98. Always when using Explorer it crashes with a General page fault message (I think it gets in trouble with the Kernel) after some file operations. With the crash it also takes all the tray icons with it (but does not crash these programs). I am running quite a few backround programs especially when on the Internet. Currently I just get around the problem by not using MS Explorer at all and using a replacement program. I am running Windows 98 4.10.1998 on a Pentium II 350 MHz and 128 MB RAM. Reinstalling Windows 98 does not help at all for that problem as also a rebuild of my registry did not help.

format your HD and reinstall windows. If you just reinstall without formatting it won't fix the problem. Once IE gets messed up it's almost impossible to fix thats why i like to use netscape.

Hi this may be a bit late to help you but if you have internet explorer 5.0 or 5.01 installed it has a self repair that fixes its own propblems. Go to Control Panel add remove hardware Click on Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and tools Click on remove [ this does not remove it but brings up another box] Click on repair Internet Explorer it may ask for your Win CD not sure Hope this helps Kaz

Hello, GENARAL PAGE FAULT: An interrupt that occurs when a program requests data that is not currently in virtual memory. The interrupt triggers the operating system to fetch the data from a storage device and load it into RAM. An invalid page fault or page fault error occurs when the operating system cannot find the data at all. This usually happens when the virtual memory area, or the table that maps virtual addresses to real addresses, becomes corrupt.
