Invalid Page Fault Error in Wininet.dll After Installing IE
Short method, works for most people:
- Select: Start, Shut Down, Restart the computer in MS-DOS Mode
- at C:\> enter: CD \Windows
- at C:\Windows> enter: smartdrv
- at C:\Windows> enter: deltree /y tempor~1
- at C:\Windows> enter: deltree /y history
- at C:\Windows> enter: Exit
The PC should now reboot
In most cases you are done. MSIE should work properly.
If the above fixes the original problem, but you later notice that your
History or Temporary Internet Files don't behave properly, the following
will register the folders again with Win95:
- Close Internet Explorer, if open
- Select: Start, Run, REGSVR32 /U C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CACHEVU.DLL
- Select: Start, Run, REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CACHEVU.DLL
- Select: Start, Shut Down, Restart the Computer

The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 3.0, 3.01 for Windows 95
SYMPTOMS
After you install Internet Explorer, you may receive an error message
similar to the following message when you try to start Windows 95, open
Control Panel, or perform other tasks in Windows 95
<Program> Caused an Invalid Page Fault in Module Wininet.dll
where <Program> is Regsvr32.exe, Explorer.exe, Iexplore.exe, or another
program. If you click OK, Windows 95 may seem to function properly only
briefly before the error message is displayed again.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur for either of the following reasons:
- The History folder or the cache folders used by Internet Explorer are
damaged. - The index files used to track the contents of the History or
cache folders are damaged.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
1.Empty the History and cache folders used by Internet Explorer. To do so,
follow these steps:
a. Click Options on the View menu in Internet Explorer.
b. Click the Navigation tab, click Clear History in the History area,
and then click Yes in the dialog box that appears.
c. Click the Advanced tab, click Settings in the Temporary Internet
Files area, click Empty Folder, and then click Yes in the dialog box
that appears.
After performing these steps, check to see if the issue has been resolved.
If it has not been resolved, continue with step 2.
2.In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
3.Click Internet Explorer 3.0 in the list of installed programs, and then
click Add/Remove.
4.After Internet Explorer 3.0 or 3.01 has been removed, restart the
computer. When you see the "Starting Windows 95" message, press the F8 key,
and then choose Command Prompt Only from the Startup menu.
5.Type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command.
NOTE: When you press ENTER after typing each of the following DELTREE
commands, you should be prompted to confirm that you want to delete the
folder. If this prompt is not displayed, the DELTREE command may have been
typed incorrectly.
cd \windows
smartdrv
deltree tempor~1
deltree history
cd system
ren mshtml.dll mshtml.old
ren shdocvw.dll shdocvw.old
ren inetcfg.dll inetcfg.old
ren actxprxy.dll actxprxy.old
ren wininet.dll wininet.old
ren cachevu.dll cachevu.old
ren inetcpl.cpl inetcpl.old
ren shlwapi.dll shlwapi.old
ren url.dll url.old
ren urlmon.dll urlmon.old
ren wsock32n.dll wsock32n.old
6.Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart your computer and restart Windows 95
normally.
7.Reinstall Internet Explorer. For information about obtaining Internet
Explorer 3.02, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:
ARTICLE-ID: Q164475
TITLE : Availability of Internet Explorer 3.02 for Windows 95
And NT 4.0
MORE INFORMATION
When you attempt to start Windows 95, open Control Panel, or perform other
tasks in Windows 95 after installing Internet Explorer 3.0 or 3.01,
Internet Explorer may need to use the Regsvr32.exe program to register one
or more registry entries associated with the Wininet.dll dynamic-link
library (DLL). When it does so, Internet Explorer may need to access one or
more of the index files used to track the contents of the History and cache
folders. If Internet Explorer is unable to access one of the files because
the file or the folder associated with file is damaged, the problem
described in this article may occur.
