Re: Kids pc .....................again :(
 

Ok, '98 installed but I can't access the net, whenever I try and open explorer I get an error which says

MSOOBE caused an invalid page fault in module <unknown> at 0000:00000009.

Any ideas :shrug:
TIA

Have you tried a repair of Internet Explorer or maybe download and install the newest one that 98 can handle?

Re: Kids pc .....................again :(
 

Tried one of the links.... this one
Use the Msoobe.exe Utility

1.Click Start, and then click Run.2.In the Open box, type the following line, and then click OK. c:\windows\system\oobe\msoobe.exe /x
Follow the instructions on your screen to complete the MSN Internet Access wizard.


Got the same error message :( can't do anything right today .. lol, how did you get this from msoobe, when I searched it gave the xp thing as per previous post. 'kin pc's, anywho, gotta go out just now so I will check back later. Thanks again :tu:

Re: Kids pc .....................again :(
 

I put the entire error message in and searched through newsgroups too ;) Will keep looking in case there is anything else. Was it a clean format and install onto the hard drive or could there have been files still left on there? I'm thinking something corrupted on install, I'd try a new install of
IE and see what happens.
Was that the full error message that occurs?
I think that file is linked to the MS Internet Connection Wizzard which always kicks in the first time you run IE after an install.
