IE and netscape browsers cause invalid page fault - help
shaun campbell
have invalid page faults which eventually hang my PC. With IE no module was
listed in the details, with Netscape Realplay is listed.
All was working well until I tried installing a piece of software on my PC
the other day. The software was earjam which apparently writes mp3 files to
audio CD. The installation was from the internet and I cancelled it part
way through so I don't know if it broke anything.
Does anybody know what I can do to repair the system without fully
installing everything?
Thanks
Shaun Campbell

If this has happened less than five days ago, reset the registry. Boot into
DOS and type in: scanreg /restore. Pick a date that all was well.
Other options: Check the registry and if the software is listed, remove it.
Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Scroll down until you get to the program in question listed, right click,
delete.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot

For Winamp either/or WMP, choose the file associations accordingly:
When you install Winamp after installing Windows Media Player, clear the
Maintain File Associations check box during Winamp Setup.
If Winamp is already installed, follow these steps:
1. Start Winamp.
2. Press "Ctrl+P" to open the Preferences window.
3. Under Setup, click Agent and clear the Maintain File Associations check
box.
4. Start Windows Media Player. On Tools menu, click Options, and then click
the Format tab.
5. Individually select the files you want to re-associate with Windows Media
Player, or click Select All to use Windows Media Player to play all
formats.
To check the file associations, double-click a .cda file in Windows
Explorer. If
Windows Media Player opens the file, you have correctly configured Windows
Media Player.
