Hello all...I am having a problem with my home PC...when I try to connect to the internet I get and "Invalid Page Fault" error. I have not made any changed to the PC...as soon as I click on IE and my home page is about to open I get that dreaded sound and the page fault pops up!!! Thanks If there is anything i will need to specify please let me know!! Thank You in advance!!!

Page fault errors can occur for any of the following reasons:

The virtual memory system becomes unstable due to a shortage of physical memory (RAM).
The virtual memory system becomes unstable due to a shortage of free disk space.
The virtual memory area is corrupted by a misbehaving application.
An application attempts to access data that is being modified by another running application.

You might have to check each of these till you find out what's causing the real problem.

Also, are you routinely dumping your Temporary Internet Files?

Yes I have I cant figure this out I just try to open a webpage and pop...even if I am not connected to internet!! "IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in module <unknown> at 0084:39003200"....Iam thinking about uninstalling IE somehow and reinstallling?

There is a repair feature for IE. If you haven't dumped it yet, you might want to hang on until I can find it, or others here can direct you to it!

The IE repair tool can be found in System Information/Tools.
If you're using Win 95, go to Start/Run, type msinfo32, and click Enter.

Also, check these articles: http://216.239.33.100/search?q=cache:3MtppLOfBvgC:www.generation.net/~hleboeuf/erriexpl.htm+%22IEXPLORE+caused+an+invalid+page+fa ult+in+module+%3Cunknown%3E+at+0084:39003200%22&hl= en

Short article on IE 5.5 repair (http://uscash.net/tips/expl5repair.html), and IE 5 repair works the same..if it works at all. Otherwise, we've had recent experience on removing IE through Add/Remove and going back to original version 4 or something included in 98, then reinstalling IE from a CD. Nothing dire happened, thank goodness. There are many here that would recommend you try Opera..just throwing that out for consideration. Here's the link I have for Opera..but apparently is "customized"..so not sure. Opera (http://www.opera.com/download/get.pl?platform=win&force=6.01)

I personally hate that "unknown module" stuff. Which OS? And which IE version are you running?

Edit: The MSKB link/address I just tried is apparently too long, but if you go to Google and put "invalid page faults" in the box..the MSKB article/list is third on the list.

Thanks, ski, for that link. Recently "lost" some of my Favorites, and need replacements. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
