IEXPLORER caused a general protection fault + causes illegal operation error

M

matt

on some webpages, before the page can fully load, a white
screen pops up saying an error has occured in the program
with the options to either close or ignore. HOWEVER, you
can only click close. After I click close, an illegal
operation error pops up with the following message:

"IEXPLORE caused a general protection fault

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
