    Post illegal operation problem in Win95

    Greetings all-
    This is a strange problem. Anytime I double click on any icon, I get a illegal operation box about Explorer. The details read: Invalid page fault in module SHDOCVW.DLL
    Then when I hit the close button, another window appears that reads: There was an internal error and one of the windows you were using will be closed..." (The title is: Microsoft Internet Explorer".

    Is this a virus? I am trying to setup Internet on it, but cannot run Control Panel, or IE, or anything.

    Thanks,

    Al

    Your might find your answer here

    Below is part of that page:
    This behavior can occur if the Win386.swp file located in the Windows folder has its file attributes set to read only. Windows uses the Win386.swp file to create virtual memory.

    [list=1]To resolve this issue:[*]Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders.[*]In the Named box, type win386.swp.[*]In the Look in box, click Drive C, and then click Find Now.[*]Right-click the Win386.swp file, click Properties, and then click to clear the Read-only check box.[*]Click Apply, and then click Close.[/list=a]
