re: this program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down Friday, June 4, 2004 at 6:17 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Sayantan Chatterjee (11 messages posted) My Problem is : When (Double) clicking on Internet Explorer or My Computer icon to open them , instead of opening it an error message is showing which states :"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor." But I have found a way to open IE. It is now opening by Right clicking on the IE icon and then selecting and clicking the option "open".I have Internet Explorer version 5.0 and Windows 98 SE as OS in my PC. Plz help to sort out this so that I can open IE by normal way (just double clicking the icon) and operate it without having any error message. Note :In "System Properties" dialog box,the item "Display Adapters" (which is Intel(R) 82810E Graphics Controller in my case) in General tab, Device status is showing "This device is working properly" though in Driver Tab ... Driver File Details, source Driver files showing C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\181XDW9X.DRV but physically there is no existence of this file in my Hard drive at that path.
