explorer "invalid page fault"

Hi, it's me AGAIN. Sigh.

Everything is just great but I am getting the following error
(not a BIG deal - all the tray icons disappear but everything
works unless I try to start a new program - and it used to
happen with the previous install as well...).

Also, I am PRETTY sure the culprit is "Windows Make-Up" by
Simone Avogadro, a "file open" box resizer/extender without the
overkill of File Ex or other such programs.

This is the message:

Dependency walker gave me this:

wmuhook.dll tagged pink
kernel32.dll :
red C, ordinal n/a, function: IsTNT

This is why I think it's Windows Make-Up (wmu).

Does anyone have another idea? I googled and was not successful.

Now that I am doing all this on a 2GHz machine, File Ex may not
be such a bad idea. WMU was always a little buggy and sloppy but
on pure 95B (not 98SELite) it ran great.

Clue #1: explorer.exe as a possible cause


Dependency walker gave me this:

with either sfc or command prompt:

extract explorer.exe in the windows directory

Copy the files in the /win98 directory (the one with all the .cab files
from your CD to c:\cabs

boot to command prompt only.

cd c:\windows\system
extract /a /e c:\cabs\base4.cab kernel32.dll

Then do a scanreg/fix in command prompt.

win/d:m

Check to see if there's *any* duplicates in device manager. Remove *all*
copies of what's duplicated if there is, then reboot to normal.

If you still have the problem after this, you first statement is correct:
buggy software.

This is a sure sign that your windows installation is getting corrupted.
If you get errors with user.exe, you *will* have to do a clean install.
There's no repair for that one.

Did you do a fresh install? Is this a full Win98SE now?

Icons can disappear from the tray after Explorer is end-tasked, for
instance from the Ctlr-Alt-Del Close Program box. Explorer immediately
restarts, everything else continues to run-- but fewer icons will appear
in the Tray. I believe the same effect can be seen after a
log-off/log-on using the START button.

It's possible "Windows Make-Up" was unable to re-establish its hook to
Explorer, but that explorer originally crashed for a different reason.
What is the last thing you did before the error happened? Anything to do
with a "file open" box?

Hey

what happened to all your lost partitions?

Did you get them back????

In spite of the /rather wide/ variety of helpfulness of replies,
even for these groups, yes.

This is the copy of the relevant part of the reply to the most
helpful person:

+++++++++++++

I use MBRTOOL to view my MBR:
http://www.diydatarecovery.nl/mbrtool.htm

Will DL it now.

I did. It was too hairy for me - I never studied computer
science so certain things are just beyond me.

Good news, though:

*****BUT it led me (I can't remember how, a suggestion on a
software site for "similar programs" I think, to "TestDisk", a
tiny French marvel which solved the problem in 2 minutes.*****

WHY can't ALL programs be like that? (Rhetorical cry of
despair.)

+++++++++++++

So everything's just peachy. For now, anyway. SIGH.

I tried the full 98SE but it was just ridiculous, it took about
3 tries to get it installed. I could NOT believe it.

Once it was installed, I found the shell intolerable (see reply
to Evan). So I wiped C and installed 98SELite which was like
spreading butter on a scone.

Icons can disappear from the tray after Explorer is
end-tasked, for instance from the Ctlr-Alt-Del Close
Program box.

WHY would I ever do that? AFAIK, it and systray HAVE to be
running!

Explorer immediately restarts, everything else
continues to run-- but fewer icons will appear in the Tray.
I believe the same effect can be seen after a
log-off/log-on using the START button.

I use SSWT, a screen saver-shut off utility.

its hook to Explorer, but that explorer originally crashed

No.

Of course not. The hell I go through is my very own, copyrighted

But since I deleted WMU, so far so good.
