re: Now "Program has performed an illegal .... and will now shutdown" Tuesday, March 30, 2004 at 2:38 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MrCharlie (4141 messages posted) Here's a couple of sites dealing with illegal operations, take a look at them. Illegal Operations Here Also You can also go to Start, Run, type msconfig, enter. Go to the startup tab and shut down programs that you don't need running and see if you can pin down what's causing the problem. You only need explorer and systray to run Windows. You can also use ctrl, alt, delete to end task on a program. When you get the error message, click on details and see what it says also. You can repair Internet Explorer by going to the add/remove programs in the Control panel and double click on IE and choose repair IE.
