Lately have been consistently getting a invalid page fault when playing MP3 mucic files (In WIN98SE, 380MB Ram). I have reinstalled from recent magazine CD discs, and also after downloading from Microsoft's update site...but always getting the same annoying dialog box popping...that stops the file from playing...

I have huntedthrough Google and Microsoft support, but there appears to be no specific and easy fix-it for this specific fault which is (as copied):...

WMPLAYER caused an invalid page fault in
module WINMM.DLL at 016f:bfdf6633.

...Anyone understand that?...

I sure cannot, - but any help appreciated. Currently resigned to the faster and basic (but error free) MP3 Coolplayer. I admit that I have really thrashed WMP with MP3' and CD's lately, I wonder if that would have caused this persistant problem?

Cheers...

From Invalid_Page_Faults (www.aumha.org) "...Invalid Page Faultsare memory-behavior errors. They can be caused by too little RAM; damaged RAM; msimatched RAM; too little free hard drive space in the partition housing the swap file; poor memory management (www.aumha.org) choices by the user; overheating; or (most commonly) programming errors. Usually, two programs are mentioned in the error message: Start troubleshooting with these, either by running repair utilities, replacing implicated modules, uninstalling the program(s) altogether for diagnostic purposes, or reinstalling one or both for diagnosis and/or repair. Nearly always, this problem will first appear soon after you have made software, hardware, or configuration changes to your computer, and can be traced to those changes. (NOTE: Virus infestation is one involuntary type of “software installation” that should be considered.)..."

Note the site Invalid_Page_Faults (www.aumha.org) and have a look at a number of the suggestions there.

Cheers, Babe.
