Invalid Page Fault

[skbrown]

Have Win98 with SP1. Whenever I attempt to open Windows Explorer I get
the following error message:

EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in
module <unknown> at 0000:0044d2af.
Registers:

This occurs whether I double click on the Explorer shortcut on my desktop (other shortcuts on my desktop work fine), double
click on the explorer.exe file in C:\Windows or try right click Start > Explore. I have
reinstalled Win 98 and SP1 over my existing installation, ran complete System File
Checker and also replaced the explorer.exe file from my Win98 CD. Additionally,
I have run Norton WinDoctor and registry sweep. Still get Invalid Page Fault. Any Ideas/solutions appreciated!

Should I ask if your overclocking? Hmmm.

Not with AMD K-5 133 and 40Mb of ram. This is relatively new problem. Did not have problem until short while ago.

No network. Have network card (3Com) for cable modem

That type of error is hard to pin down. Start here:
