Internet Explorer 6.0 Error
« on: June 24, 2004, 08:21:51 AM »
I have a computer that is running Windows 98 SE as an Operating System.  It has ben working fine until a few weeks ago.  

All of a sudden when I fire up my internet Connection, Internet Explorer attempts to open up as it has been the Browser that I always use.  Right away  Internet Explorer gives me the little window saying
"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down".  Upon viewing additional details about the error, I get the following "WNMSGUPDT caused an invalid page fault in
module MFC42.DLL at 0167:73dd5fad.

I have tried to restart the computer numerous times and still the same problem.  I ordered a software CD from Microsoft with Internet Explorer 6.0 on it and I attempted to reinstalled this   After reinstaling Internet Explorer 6.0, I am still experiencing the same problem with Internet Explorer.  I downloaded Adaware (6.0 - I think that is the version) and ran it.  It identified 89 suspecious modules and so I had them removed.  

Well that did not fix the problem as Internet Explorer still fails when attempting to open.  I have been able to use Netscape 7.1 with some success.  I thought perhaps if I visited the Windows Update site and downloaded any available Windows Updates that might help.  BUT I can not do this using Netscape.  So I can't download any Windows Updates unless my Internet Explorer is working.  

Nothing seems to fix the problem.  I really don't want to format the Hard Drive and reload everything if I can keep from going that route.  Does anyone out there have any ideas or suggestions on how I can resolve this problem with my Internet Explorer ?

Thanks
