Solve : Explorer.exe Illegal Operation?

Answer» <html><body><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ok-1127144" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OK">OK</a> I have a old Packard Bell Windows 98 computer, and it worked fine until I tried to restore it (because one of my fonts was messed up or something, I can't really remember) and it worked, but when it booted up, and got to the desktop, it said this: "This program has preformed an illeagal operation and will be shut down) So of course I click on Details, and its explorer.exe. Well the first thing I thought was (Well, I guess I'm pretty screwed now!) but then I found this site so I'm hopeing one of you guys on this site can help me. If you don't know what this error does, it will let you go to your desktop but your icons or the taskbar will not appear. I have the error report below.<br/><br/>EXPLORER casued an invalid page fault in module EXPLORER.EXE at 015f:00401f31<br/><br/>Registers:<br/>EAX=00000000 CS=015f EIP=00401f31 EFLGS=0010246<br/>EBX=00000001 SS=0167 ESP=0080ff1c EBP=0080ff24<br/>ECX=c14sc770 ES=0167 ESI=00000000 FS=1c97<br/>EDX=0080ff2c ES=0167 EDI=00000000 GS=0000<br/><br/>Bytes at CS:EIP<br/>8b 08 50 ff 11 8b 45 08 50 8b 08 ff 51 08 8b 45<br/><br/>Stack Dump:<br/>00401cc0 0080ff2c 0080ff64 00405cac 00000000<br/>00000000 00000000 00000001 00404436 0059fc30<br/>00000008 00000000 00000000 00000000 0000ffff<br/>7ff31bbe<br/><br/><br/>If anyone has a solution it would be greatly apprciated<br/>By the way I tried to restore from the command promp, and it said "Restore Failed" so I can't restore eitherFollow the instructions at <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;191609">THIS PAGE</a>, and see if the problem is corrected.Try restarting explorer.exe by:<br/>1. go to Task Manager (CTL+ALT+DEL)<br/>2. on the Task Manager windows click File and then New Task<br/>3. type explorer.exe in the window and then click OK Quote from: Aegis on July 12, 2009, 02:44:45 AM<blockquote>Follow the instructions at <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;191609">THIS PAGE</a>, and see if the problem is corrected.<br/></blockquote> <br/>I already tried that....It didnt work it said "file not found" or something similar Quote from: Cityscape on July 12, 2009, 04:49:46 PM<blockquote>Try restarting explorer.exe by:<br/>1. go to Task Manager (CTL+ALT+DEL)<br/>2. on the Task Manager windows click File and then New Task<br/>3. type explorer.exe in the window and then click OK<br/></blockquote> <br/>All right thanks for the help.

Windows 98 didn't have a restore feature... so I'm thinking you ran through the system recovery... which thus <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/deletes-947562" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DELETES">DELETES</a> everything on the drive. But let's proceed as if it didn't.<br/><br/>You Could get an external USB enclosure and remove the windows 98 PC's HD and plug it into the external enclosure. Then plug that into your PC and copy the files you want over.<br/><br/><br/>Then if you wanted you could reformat it and try to get win98 working again... or just use the HD as extra storage.

And to restore it I went to the command prompt and typed "scanreg/restore" then went to one of the .cab files for restoring, then it said, "restore failed" I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/eventually-976663" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EVENTUALLY">EVENTUALLY</a> tried all of them, only to get the same error so no restoring, or safe mode either...</body></html>
