        Is there anything that works with Win98 ? (I have a number of applications which get "Invalid Page Fault" in module where the address 00de:00000000 is always the same - I think the swap file may be corrupt) Doug

          I don't think that's your problem, but set the swapfile to 0 bytes, let windows reboot itself, then restore it to it's normal size. I think it's set under control panel -system in 98.

            I think you're right - I've changed the sizeof the swap file and even the disk, and I STILL get the failure. Any idea what it could be / experiments to perform ? Doug

              Reinstall windows. After doing that and reinstalling all your apps make a HD image so your next restore will be relatively painless.

                  Dan, I'm trying to avoid reinstalling Win98 and all my DD's and apps - it's such a pain ! Investigating every other possible avenue first, but agree that OS reinstall may ultimately be the only way ! Doug

                    It appears to be whatever app I use with my TV Tuner.I had been using Intervideo WinDVR for quite a few months (not everything worked !), but tried a few others and got the same results at some point or other. I'm double-double checking that I have the latest drivers for the MSI 8606 card at present (but I'm fairly sure that I am) Doug

                      Yes, the drivers seem to be up to date. Doug

                        00000000 is always an invalid address, regardless of the page file status. What is more interesting is the segment (00DE). DE is 11011110, which indicates a privilege-level 2 segment. Windows does not use privilege level 2 - only 0 and 3! Therefore there is a serious bug with some software - your TV tuner driver, most likely - and clearing the virtual memory page file would not help. If the drivers are up-to-date, use device manager (whereever it is on 98) and see if there are any hardware conflicts. Other than that, I can't think of much else... Mike
