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

[bopdude]

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
TIA

Looking around it seems that msoobe is something to do with Win XP activation, WTF has that to do with this '98 install

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

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

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.
More bits here
