Windows 98SE: 1.) When my desktop comes up & I click on Explorer or Control Panel I get an error saying "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shutdown". Both the desktop icons & through settings & control same error. Cannotget to Control Panel. 2.) When you right click explorer the same message come up. Anyway I try to get to these they do not work. The rest of programs work such as Scan Disk for example. How do I fix this? Please be detailed in response.

Is there more to the error message like what module the error occurred in? It might all be related to a problem with a control panel module (files with a cpl extension).

Post back with the module and we'll see what we can do.

It says: Explorer caused an invalid page fault in module SHDOCVW.DLL zt 015f:79eaddal.

Hope this helps in answering my problem.
