 Windows 98 Illegal Operations.

Illegal Operations and Freeze & Lockups in Windows 98 SE

Illegal Operations are caused when Applications cannot communicate directly with the processor, they must access through the core Windows 95/98 system files:

These files include: gdi.exe, gdi32.dll, krnl386.exe, kernel32.dll, user.exe, user.dll. If an application attempts to access the processor directly an illegal operation error is generated when a problem is encountered.

The most absolute way to eliminate the error is to reinstall the software separately or backup your personal data and use the Quick Restore.

You can also try the following -

1. Restart the computer
2. When the computer has rebooted, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL
3. Close ALL applications running in the background via the End Task window
4. Close ALL except SYSTRAY and EXPLORER

Once this has been done, try using the computer again as you normally would to see if the problems persist.

If the problems do persist, do a complete uninstall of ALL third party software that has been installed and test the system.

If everything is performing correctly as it should, then re-install one individual program at a time and test the system. If all goes well and you have no errors, install the next program you originally had on the system...

Hope this helps!
