Explorer invalid page fault Monday, September 6, 2004 at 1:22 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Joanna (1 messages posted) Hi, I recently returned home from a four month absence and found my computer would not boot. I ran a scandisk from DOS, which found many new bad sectors. I thought my harddrive and everything on it was lost, but when I rebooted I could log-in to Windows. However, once I logged in, before any icons could appear I received a fatal error message the details of which are: EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in module at 0000:8000016e Registers: EAX=00430ac8 CS=019f EIP=8000016e EFLGS=00010246 EBX=0080f800 SS=01a7 ESP=0080f534 EBP=0080f54c ECX=71510fbc DS=01a7 ESI=00000000 FS=2fff EDX=00430000 ES=01a7 EDI=0080f7fc GS=2fe6 Bytes at CS:EIP: Stack dump 7150e02d 00430ac8 500032a0 0080f800 00000001 0080f804 0080f7dc 7ff2cb20 7150da58 00430ac8 500032a0 0080f800 500062e8 500032a0 bff773cf I'm hoping that the problem is now software and not hardware and that there is something I can do to get Windows booted up again long enough to recover my more important files. I have tried reinstalling Windows, but run into the same error message. Any advice or suggestions are welcome, thank-you Joanna Responses to this message: re: Explorer invalid page fault (trey: Monday, September 6, 2004 at 3:33 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] Explorer invalid page fault (Joanna: Mon, Sep 6, 2004, 1:22 pm) re: Explorer invalid page fault (trey: Mon, Sep 6, 2004, 3:33 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows 98 Discussion Forum
