Windows Forum / Windows 95 / December 2003Explorer Will Not Explore
I keep getting the error EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in module SHELL32.DLL at 0177:66801af2. It occurs when I am using explorer to navigate my computer's hard drive. I can however use explorer's find function to locate files. Note also that at the same time this problem started I was unable to use both print manager and control panel for a period of time, however I am now able to use both Another problem that seems to be associated with this problem is that when I attempt to use Microsoft Office and create a new doc under the file menu item. The Office app will lockup. I can however, create a new doc using an existing template for which I have a shortcut on my desktop. The only software installed since this problem was for the an HP laser printer. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks Brian Win95, unforunately, has very limited repair capabilities. I would first try uninstalling anything that has been installed recently. Use the Add/Remove module in Control Panel. Uninstall only one at a time and restart the system after each uninstall. I doubt that the foregoing will correct the problem, but it doesn't hurt to try. If it does not correct the problem, then reinstall Windows in the current folder (probably C:\Windows). The Windows Setup program can often repair problems with Windows itself. If that does not correct the problem, you will have to reinstall Windows into a new empty folder. The following article explains how to install Windows into a new folder: How to Reinstall Windows 95 to a New Folder [142096] http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/142/0/96.asp Information about reinstalling is also on www.windowsreinstall.com. >Another problem that seems to be associated with this >problem is that when I attempt to use Microsoft Office and >create a new doc under the file menu item.

I suggest that you first get Windows working correctly, and then, if you are still having trouble with Office, ask aboput it ion an Office newsgroup. Bill Starbuck (MVP) |
