Firefox And IE both killing me.

[Sjbrand99]

I keep getting this error message when visiting certain pages, some i always get and other pages not so often. It is one of those "Illegal Operation" ones that makes me close immediately. I get them in IE aswell, which is the reason i got firefox for this computer but now i have started getting them on firefox.

This is anexample (the last one that happened)

FIREFOX caused an invalid page fault in
module MSVCRT.DLL at 017f:78011bbd.

What are your system specs? Like processor and motherboard, power supply, and video card, and RAM.

Dell, Pent. 3 128mb RAM. Its my second computer so i dont use it that often but i would like this sorted. Also, on firefox in the last few days, when loading pages it somtimes crashes, resulting in me needing to CAD. It happens quite often. Fresh install did not change it though.
Thanks

I would suggest that perhaps the problem arises because you only have 128Mb of RAM onboard. Not knowing which mobo you are running means it isn't possible to tell how much RAM you can install, but I think if you maxed out the RAM, you would find that the pc can handle things rather better than it is doing now.

If you download and run Belarc: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html, which is a free download, you will be able to find the exact make and model of motherboard you have there. If you either post it here, or Google it (look for spec) you will find out how much, and what type of RAM you can install.

The other thing to check for is malware, and I would suggest running SuperAntiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/ (again, it is free) and A-squared: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/ (free, but you have to register). Make sure the computer is clean, and then zap up the RAM.

Im not adding to it. And i no that there is nothing wrong with it because i didnt biuld it i bought it. (hence why its a dell)

128 mb ram is sufficient to run xp. and i don't think dell has mobo names like home-made pc's each dell model has a specific mobo. i don't believe dell has mobo names. you problem is caused by "invalid registry entries".

good luck.

Im running '98 actually.

your MSVCRT.DLL is corrupt. this is the C-Runtime Dll support and you can
google for the name and download a fresh copy.

boot into DOS and COPY it to the correct location.

With respect, simply because you bought a system rather than building it, does not guarantee it's veracity.

128MB is sufficient to run IE under 98, but with all the add-ons and patches, it probably exceeds this. With computers and parts as cheap as they are, he's long overdue for an upgrade.
