I E 6 - Invalid Page Faults

M

Malc

I am getting various invalid page fault messages every time
I try to use IE6.

This is preventing access to my MSN Mailbox.

Outlook Express is working fine, as is Netscape 7(installed
since problem developed)

I have re-installed IE6 and it has made no difference.

Please respond in layman's terms.

Thanks

Exact error messages help in diagnosing problems.

A. See

B. You may need new video drivers. Check the site for your video board
manufacturer. Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (For Win 98, Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will
see little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.

If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.

If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini
