Fault Protection Error - Unable to send mail

[Tony]

Using Windows 98 and IE 6 SP(1). Keep getting the fault
protection error below. Microsoft says this was a known
problem in IE 4 and Outlook Express, but still seems to be
occurring. Had this problem a while back anf it just went
away. Any ideas?

MSIMN caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 0177:bff7b983.

You probably need new video drivers. Check the site for your video board
manufacturer. Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (For Win 98, Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will
see little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.

If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.

If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini
