Illegal operation
Computer is getting "program has performed illegal
operation and will be shut down". But I cannot do anything but manually turn off the computer. The file status under the Performance tab is set to 32, so KB #175703 did not help. Only other thing is that person last tried to send email with attachment over the Internet. And supposedly the problem started happening. Please offer suggestions on what I might try next. Thanks, Susan |

Illegal operation
I have 3 different apps giving error message
"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down". It all started over the weekend. I tried to restore the registry back to last Wednesday but that did not work.

Well, what are the three programs? Also, what is the precise wording of
the error messages. If there is a Details button, click it, R-Clk inside the box that appears, & copy/paste it here. (We do not need registers & below.)

Illegal operation
The error message is:
"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor" The apps are 1) PCCguide which is part of Trend Micros Internet Security 2004, it is in the startup 2) Mymail which is MyMailList 5.0.2.0 3) Qbdagent2002 which is part of Quick Books Pro. There are also invalid page fault errors with the MyMail and QBDAGENT2002 under the details. Do you think Windows install will help? Should I do Refresh the Operating System (dirty install) or Recover Hard Drive without Format (clean install)? Please tell me what you would do.

Illegal operation
What program do you have that is giving the wording you use... "Refresh
the Operating System" & "Recover Hard Drive without Format"? (a) Some say an over-install of Windows will lead to "DLL-hell". Have you done it before? (b) A fresh install of Windows can also go bad, as many a thread here can attest. Have you ever done it before? (c) Those sound to be big apps that you mention... PCCguide, Mymail, & Quick Books Pro. If it were just one, I'd suggest un/re-install that. However, as three have gone bad, I'm thinking it is something else that is affecting all three. When did this all start?
