Page Fault

Dear All,
 I have an application that runs fine, but when it closes I got Page Fault only on Windows 98, all windows 9x and XP, 2K do not have the problem.

Any idea or additional tool that can help to track down the problem?
I do not have any idea to where to start debug the problem

Thank you

depends on the application, and of the page fault code you are receiving.. we need more info.
I would suggest that you unistall it through the control panel and then reinstal it. Did it occur after installing another program after the one you mentioned? Start with the basics such as mentioned.

As mentioned more information about the program is needed. I have seen this one some programs, but the message does not cause them to malfunction and thus I just leave them until I get tired of the note. Windows is the exception.

Yan West: I agree with your comment. There was a gentleman named W.E.Deming that went to Japan in 1950 and help it to recover. In one of hs books he states "in GOD we trust, all others bring data.."

Use your Start Menu > RUN option > and type DRWATSON > click "OK".

Now open the program, use it a bit, and then close down to see if you can replicate the error situation.  Dr Watson takes snapshots of what is happening on your system, and sometimes can identify the problem.

Dear All,
 Thank you for all your comments, here are more details:

1) When I press a button to exit the application, I got:
 <application> caused an invalid page fault in module <library1> at 017f:006ccfcf.

2) I press close and got:
   Abnormal termination

3) Press Ok and got:

 <application> caused an invalid page fault in module <library2> at 017f:400089d1.

and the system just locked out.

This does not happen in another systems. Once again any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
We need to know the application, there is *TONS* of possibilities.. you should see all the programs that can cause this kind of errors, and there are about 2 millions reasons for them to happen..
explorer caused an invalid page fault in module
notepad caused an invalid page fault in module
navw32, ddhelp, netmeter, qbw32, ddhelp, qw, outlook, etc..etc..etc..

All of them has these kind of error for all different reasons..
If this classical not is happening randomly with whatever program is open then lets suppose it is a virus. Now if you reinstall Norton, the virus may corrupt the *.exe files. Thus go to the following online antivirus site: http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/

Let us know the results. Normally the hardest part is finding the source of the trouble. The more data supplied the easier to narrow down the problem.
Ok, if you are allerted to a specific virus, the following site in symantec's home page possibly help. The page list many viruses and methods to remove them.

Please disregard the last two comments. I should have read your question.

' I have an application that runs fine, but when it closes I got Page Fault only on Windows 98"

I am under the assumption that you either tried the program on other computers or have, like I do, several master HDs. I hate partitions.

Thus possibly try the program on another machine with win98 and see if you get the same result. If you do not, then it is a problem with win 98. I would through the control panel remove the offending program. Then I would suggest that you try the other programs etc to see if you get the same classical note. If the note reappears in other programs, then I would reinstall win98 thru windows . It will not change the settings.

Dear All,
 Thank you so much for your comments. And yes I installed it in other computers with the same problem. I will follow BillDL useful information and let you know. Once again thank you so much.
Thank you, hvelasco.  Have you isolated and fixed the problem?  What does it seem to have been?
Dear  BillDL,
 I am sorry for the late response. It was something related to the application itself, which I could find it thanks to the information you provide. Thanks
Thanks for the update.  Well done.
