Hi experts out there,

Had formatted a pc and installed win98 first then MS office97.

When my user is typing her mail messages halfway(MS outlook97), this messages suddenly prompted " ...illegal operation..." By default is closed and exit out from her operation. This made everyone frustrated. Is this the MS bug?

Any solution for this? Please help...thanks!

I don't know whether I can be of help on this one as I suffer from the same problem with Pstudio V2 and V3, and as yet I have found no way around this annoying bug.
However, it generally occurs if I haven't defragmented my drive for a while or I have loaded a new piece of software. Try defragmenting your drive for optimal performance and run the program again.

Have you gotten all the current bug fixes (excuse me, "updates") from Microsoft? Win98 has bunches, and there are also quite a few for Office & Outlook. Usually applying updates calms down the error messages.

What are the "details i" of the illegal operation? (ie. emalscan.dll caused an invalid page fault....). See in Microsoft Knowledge base has any information (Search tip. Try looking for the EXACT messafge, then if that turns up nothing try searching for just the.dll file)
