Illegal Operation – Shell32.dll

by cv606656 . Updated 25 years, 1 month ago

I have a 400Mhz processor with 224 MB of RAM and Windows 98SE
After removing a virus from my computer, I re-installed Windows and all my applications. Now, every time that I open Wordperfect 7 I get this Illegal Operation message: WPWIN7 caused an invalid page fault in module SHELL32.DLL at 0167:7fcb1946. Wordperfect works well but I can’t get rid of this illegal operation. Once Wordperfect is running, it also blocks my ATI TVtuner behind my Desktop window and I can’t bring it forward without re-starting my computer. I’ve uninstalled and re-installed Win98 6 times and the same problem recurs.
Why is this happening? Since re-installing Windows 98 and my applications is not solving this problem, what can I do next to fix it? I am grateful for any suggestions. Thank you.
