SHLWAPI. DLL issues

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

I have been having intermittant MSIMN faults related to the DLL above as
'invalid page faults' for weeks. Yesterday OE6 became unusable crashing
every couple of minutes after trying to send to NGs or going off-line.

I've scoured the web looking for fixes and unchecked the log-file
troubleshooting technique in 'News'. I've cleaned out as many unecessary
programs (down-loaded) as possible This morning (now) the fault hasn't thus
far appeared

Can anyone tell me what the story is with this fault? I'd be much
appreciated.

thanx,..Jason

Thanx for the info. BTW I've just noticed AVG has picked up 6 viruses in the
last 2 days: Java/Byte/Verify Perhaps this had something to do with the
problem? Will confirm if this is the case.

AVG will report Java.Byte.Verify when there is no actual malware on your system.
Where is it reporting as the location? I am betting it is in the Java cache (if you
use Sun Java) or in the TIF (if you use MS JVM). Try emptying the Java cache for
Sun Java, and/or the TIF, then run the AVG scan again.

If you are concerned that there may be trojans on the system, try cleaning your
system with the stand-alone app Sysclean:
- Create a new folder on your Desktop or the C: drive and name it Sysclean.
- Go here and download sysclean.com and the pattern files to the Sysclean folder:
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp
- Unzip the pattern files from their .zip file into the Sysclean folder.
- Restart your computer in Safe Mode.
- Go to the Sysclean folder and double-click sysclean.com to start the scan.

When the scan is finished, use Notepad or Wordpad to look at the log it created. You
may need to locate the files it named there to manually delete them, if sysclean did
not delete them itself.

You also mentioned in your original post that you "unchecked the log-file
troubleshooting technique in 'News'". Does that mean you formerly had the box
checked, to keep a log, and that is when you were getting the errors?

You're right,..its in a couple of TIF created to store images. These were
due to another arr err,..family user. I'll negotiate a 'deletion'.

Thus far AVG has picked up Trojan viruses in the past. If my DLL probs come
back I'll go to Sysclean.

It had been checked for many months,..I was not aware the log-file was
cumulative. Now that I have unchecked it , the error messages and OE crashes
has stopped. Does this make sense?

thks for the interest,..Jason

That's up to you, but I wouldn't wait for that if it were my machine.

Well, it indicates that the log file may be involved in the errors, yes? I don't
know if the log is cumulative, but if it is (and I am guessing it is), it may have
become too large and started causing write errors.
