re: Now "Program has performed an illegal .... and will now shutdown" Tuesday, March 30, 2004 at 4:35 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Levis (6 messages posted) Thanks MrC, I have now been able to deal with the "fntldr.exe" problem when I installed CWShredder and Spybot in Safe Mode. But another error is still destroying the computers performance when you start the computer is normal mode. It's still bringing the error "Program has performed an illegal operation and will now be shut down". You can't surf without it bringing the error and it closes the browser. You also can't run any application and I think this is a major problem or virus. What I'm I going to do? It seems I can't run any program in normal mode and you know you are not able to browse in safe mode.
