Explorer performs an illegal operation

[Guest]

I have been receiving an unusual error message when I close Internet Explorer
from MyMSN home page and only from this page. If I am in any other site and
close the program I do not receive any errors. It is not causing any
problems since I all ready closed the program any way but it is puzzling. I
am using IE 6.0 SP1. Here is the message.

EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in
module OLEAUT32.DLL at 0187:653a5dee.

Of course this is followed by register numbers and other info.

Appreciate any info. Thanks

Thanks Frank but that didn't work either. I followed your instructions and I
received a message indicating the action was successful. I still receive
that error message when I close out of my MSN home page.

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (msconfig for Win2K or WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk'.
Type oleaut32.dll, not worrying about its location. Then, click Start.

Next to 'Restore From', type in or browse for the file's location, which is
probably in the Win98 folder of your installation CD-ROM (typically
D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System, and click OK. System
File Checker looks for the file, saves it as you requested, and then tells
you that 'the file has been successfully extracted'.

You may need to reboot.
