At my wits' end...

[Guest MissChris]

I don't know why it's doing this suddenly.

I run win98se with ie6sp1. I'm current on all fixes and updates, tried to repair ie, ran scandisk, sfc, checked many other sites but have not been able to come up with a solution. Here goes:

Today my browser started giving me this: Iexplore has caused an invalid page fault error in module msvcrt.dll...

The browser would shut down and off went an error report.

Dr. Watson is telling me this: Microsoft ® C Runtime Library performed an invalid memory access.

I had also run adaware, and because that one is no longer as good as it used to be I tried StopZilla, which found some entries. I also downloaded and ran registrysmart, which found a load of more entries which I haven't deleted. I have been using Registry mechanic, and I always double check before I delete anything. I also disabled browser addons as suggested somewhere, but it made no difference. Now the STRANGE thing is, that this does not happen everywhere. Apparently I have no problem here. But when I go to Yahoo for instance, it happens immediately. Same thing with some of Microsoft's pages, where I obviously went for help as well. My homepage opens just fine and so do other sites.

One more clue: I Un-installed McAfee and removed all associated left overs manually. After the reboot was when this started happening. The reason I un-installed McAfee is because there were some problems with the original install and I am planning on re-installing it. Any input is highly appreciated!!!!!

PS: Came back earlier but could not open this post to edit. That time I got

IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in module FLASH9E.OCX at 016f:0620762d

Well, I downloaded the most recent DX for my system and so far so good. I am going to continue searching for updates of various components and see where it takes me.

try to download and install slimbrowser. it seems to be partially based on IE and it has fixed all errors for IE which i encountered.

[cluberti]

Well, if msvcrt.dll (the C runtimes dll file) is giving errors, that almost always means something (either IE or a helper object loaded in it) made a C function call that had a bad pointer (either a null pointer or an invalid pointer) to a memory address. Honestly, I'd start be removing all of the BHOs and toolbars, restarting, and see if the problem continues.

Did you actively make any changes, or download any updates prior to this that you can think of?

[BenoitRen]

The problem is simple: you're using a crappy web browser. IE6 is known to crash a lot.
