I have Netscape Communicator 4.6 on my Windows 95 PC. Netscape is crashing when it is at the loading plug-ins stage. Details reads: NETSCAPE caused an invalid page fault in module NETSCAPE.exe at 014f:0060316b.
I have checked the Netscape folder on my C drive and it is not marked as read only.
I have First Aid 2000(which I don't like, but it does catch and fix crashes)
First Aid 2000 catches the Netscape crash and I simply click Auto-Fix and Netscape continues to load and work fine.
I would like to fix the Netscape problem so I can be able to get rid of First Aid 2000.
Any Ideas? Netscape Tech has been no help!
Thanks in advance,
Doug

I uninstalled First Aid 2000, Uninstalled Netscape & Reinstalled Netscape. I am still getting the same problem.

I found this in Netscape's newsgroups- it was the answer to a question that matches yours.

I removed all the plug-ins from the Netscape Plug-in folder and then launched Netscape.
It worked fine! I then put back the plug-ins one at a time to test. I found two that made Netscape crash: npaudio.dll & npavi32.dll.
Thanks bone & CAPS2112 for your help in solving this problem!!

I receive a similar error. However, none of the fixes mentioned helped. Whenever I try to view a griphic in a news group I get the error Netscape caused an invalid page fault in module shell32.dll at 017f:7fcbf63c

I am encountering a similar problem but the difference is that I have upgraded to Netscape 4.7. And this problem that was stated is happening in v4.7. I am trying this method and hopefully it will work.

I have a similar problem in my Address Book using Communicator 4.61. I get the message:
ipf Netscape.exe at 014f.00611cb3.Can you help me too?????
Thanks tons.

I too had this problem.
One way to get into Netscape without it loading the plugins is to start it with the shift key down

i have the same problem
But it changes almost every time(invalid page'general protection.ete.)
NOBODY knows what to do!!! (compaq,sympatico,netscape)NOT A CLUE!!!!
ITS shuts down all the time,ready to throw this new pc out the window!!! PLEASE HELP!!

I'm getting the errors too. when i click close on the error box, it pops back up. it's infinite. the only way out is to reboot. anyone else having that happen?
i tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it was ok for 3 days, now it's back.

I had this problem with both Netscape 4.6 and IE 5. I ran Wintune98 from Windows Mag and for some reason the problem stopped.
Also, discovered my son had downloaded some updates for RealPlayer and he may have mixed some win98 files with my win95 system. Don't know if that was the cause, but I reinstalled RealPlayer.
Been a month now and I havn't crashed!

I was just going to get a digital certificate offered by Netscape and then Windows 98 displayed the following:
"NETSCAPE caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 015f:bff87eb5." and Navigator shut down and error box came up. I click on Close button and the same error box comes up over and over again. Only rebooting solves the problem. I suppose I start with plug-ins first. Navigator v4.72.

What you have to do is determine what plugins or programs are 'hooking' into Netscape. You do this by (you've seen this before) moving all the plugins in the communicator plugin directory to a temporary directory. Restart Netscape, preferably after rebooting the computer. If problem solved, then you add the plugins one by one back into the plugin directory until you get the error. If you still get the error even after removing all the plugins, you must start uninstalling programs that hook into Netscape, starting with the most recent one added to your system. An example of a program like this is GoZilla, the download accellerator. This program loads some .dll files when Netscape starts. This is the program that caused the problem with my system, but it could be another download accelerator, a search utility, or any other program that merges its activity with Netscape. Or Real Audio, or Quicktime etc,etc. But start with the most recently installed program of this type. I also had a previous occurence of this problem some time ago and at that time it was a corrupted Real Audio file.
Sometimes you will find people cursing Microsoft about problems like this, but it's usually not Microsoft, it's the other guys!
Good Luck!

I'm using version 4.7 and I get it every now and then. Seems to be mostly when I try to hyperlink from one web site to another. I get the invalid page fault in Netscape.exe. So my browser closes and the TalkBack function starts to boot up. Then I get "invalid page fault in module Talkback.exe. What the heck. How can Netscape help with feedback if the feedback agent keeps crashing. Got this version of the Netscape web site.

I'm using Netscape 2.0 on my windows 3.0 computer with 4meg of RAM, a 200meg HD, and a 33mhz processor. I'm able to look up all the stuff I want and my 9600baud external modem is flying! I'm so glad I finally upgraded!

Has anyone found a fix to this problem?
I'm getting an invalid page fault in module
Netscape.exe, even after having reinstalled
netscape 4.73 and all of its plugins. I've
narrowed the problem down to two plugins:
npaudio.dll and one Quicktime plugin. It
seems that Netscape suddenly has issues with
audio...HELP!

While I am on online, and bringing a website I am receiving messages that netscape is causing an invalid page fault, and when i close it. It tells me that talkback.exe did a page fault, and i close it and another message come up saying netscape did a page fault at kendall32.dll, when i try to close the same keeps coming up. Its upseting because i HAVE T REBOOT MY COMPUTER to many times within one day. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I've had similar errors for a while now- always when starting netscape. Mine says "in module
. I'm going to try the plugin thing in a minute.
I've learned a couple things about the problem that may be of help-
1st, i can fix it by uninstalling Gozilla. I don't like this solution, as i can't live without gozilla. However, until i find a better fix, i find i can ignore the illegal operation dialog, (DON'T click CLOSE, and drag the box to the bottom of the screen out of the way) and continue to use netscape normally, despite the error.
