I've just downloaded a driver from ati.com for my vga card but the downloaded file
(an exe file)doesn't work and windows show a messagebox saying about illegal operation.
This thing happened not only for the driver. MAny other application (mostly auto-installing
application) can't be ran and then appears the messagebox.
I use Win 98 SE 4.10.2222A with dx8.1
352 MB RAM, and
automatic virtual memory.

This is the details :

CONTROL-PANEL-7-84-030228A1-008040C-EFG caused an invalid page fault in

Please help me. Thanks in advance

When you download drivers, first disable your download manager program, if you use one. It seems that download managers can corrupt drivers during the download process.

Second, does this occur if you use a browser other than IE?

Also try reinstalling DirectX, or upgrading to 9.0a . . .

I don't have browser other than IE.
I'm using GetRight. Are you sure it can be the problem?
I'll try d/l w/o GetRight.
Thx

Yes, download managers can corrupt drivers. I can't remember which tech company posted that advice, but I've found it to be true in practice. I've stopped using download managers altogether.

Also, some download managers contain spyware based advertising that tracks your browsing in IE.
