    Previous problem with windows 98: EXPLORER caused an invalid

    you had a previous post in which you gave a link to a ebd for win98. in going to this link, i am unable to reach the bootdisk image file to create a floppy. when clicking the link i get a error 404 page not found. am i mistaken or was the bootdisk link removed? If it was removed is there any chance you may have the ebd file so that I can copy the image file to floppy for my use? the forum was listed as: 21-04-2006, 01:45 AM and my problem is the same as the user that asked the question. in other words, my pc did the exact same thing. It asked upon boot for a password then proceeded to ask for a product key in which I had to find the master key online, and since windows 98 is no longer supported by microsoft this wasn't a problem. But the error message stating
    that "Explorer caused an invalid page fault in module Explorer.exe at 0167.
    00401F31"
    As well as some data regarding Registers...

    EAX: 00000000 cs: 0167 EIP: 00401F31
    EFLGS: 000110246
    EBX: 00000001 ss: 0167 esp: 0080FEF4
    EBP: 0080FEF4
    ECX: C8F97870 ds: 016F
    ES: 00000000
    FS: 1A37
    From that point there, the boot process becomes totally dormant....
    I've tried the boot in safe mode but no luck there. This pc that I speak of is from my brother who is in the air force and it was given to him by his C.O. I don't have any of the system disks for it; no cd's, no floppys, nothing so I am trying to go from scratch here. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks. Ben
