Errors in IE 5.5

Hi to all and Happy New Year!

I'm running Win98SE - IE5.5

Out of the blue, yesterday I received a jscript.dll error when I visited http://free.bluemountain.com/index.html and tried to sign up for their services. The sign up was a javascript...

Then I received the error on another website??

The errors then were:
IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in module JSCRIPT.DLL at 0187:02b84ec2.

Today I updated at the windows site - there were a few critical updates I didn't have......Then I updated Windows Script Host to the latest version.

I cleared my temp files and have restarted the computer a gazillion times!

Now I'm getting more errors: Here are a few:
1) IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in module <unknown> at 0000:82e5fbca.
2) IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in module <unknown> at 0000:75d81f00.

These are all unknown.......

I am not at all technically skilled and I am at a lose as to what to do!? I hope you can help!!

Thanks,
Ellie

 

Hi Ellie,

In regards to your Jscript.dll error, you might have some succes solving that one by installing the latest version of <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/java/vm/dl_vm40.htm">Microsoft Virtual Machine</A>

As for the others, they are often due to programs, especially spyware loading automatically as Windows starts.

It may be helpful if we took a look at your startup programs:

Go to Start/run, and type Msinfo32, followed by OK.
Go to Software Environment/Startup Programs.
Now click Edit/'Select all', and then 'copy'
Paste the contents in your post.

Good luck,

 

Thanks for your help......

Here is the info from my startup:

I'm a little shocked with all that is in here!!

As for MVM how do I know if I have the latest version??

Thanks again for helping!!

Hi,

You have some serious spyware there, plus some stuff routinely responsible for causing errors, and slowing your machine down.
Let's remove all unnecessary and harmful stuff from startup.

Go to Start/run, and type msconfig.
On the Startup tab, uncheck EVERYTHING, EXCEPT for the following items

ScanRegistry
SystemTray
LoadPowerProfile
NAV DefAlert
Norton Auto-Protect
Norton eMail
StillImageMonitor
LoadPowerProfile
SymTray -
SchedulingAgent
ScriptBlocking

Click OK, close Msconfig, and reboot (important!)

Download and install <A HREF="http://www.lavasoftusa.net/index.html">Ad-Aware</A> . This is a program which scans your system for spyware.

After having downloaded AAW, also download the latest Signature file (Reflist.sig) : http://www.lavasoftusa.net/aaw/binary/reflist.zip
Unpack it to the Lavasoft Ad-Aware folder in Program Files, and have it overwrite the one that's there.

Then have your drives and registry scanned for spyware, check all found files and reg keys, click continue, and have them removed.
Reboot one last time.

You'll be amazed about how much more smoothly your system will run.

Good luck,

 

As for MVM, just install it on top of itself, not worrying about whether you do or don't have the correct version.

It may well correct the problem.

Good luck,

 

Hi Tony.......

OK.....I'm downloading Adaware now...as we speak......

I'm going to do all you said and I'll let you know how it works out!

I briefly read some info at Lavasoft.....and it said some stuff about Alexa........I had Alexa....never paid any attention to it and I just uninstalled it today!

I had no idea about all these spyware things!!

OK........here I go......wish me luck!



Ellie

 

Hi Tony........

OK.......I did all that you said.......

I had 156 files that had to be deleted!! Outrageous...I never knew that stuff was there!

I went back to the bluemountain site....and got the another error...maybe it's them??!!

Well the one thing I haven't done is install MVM.....I have to leave that till tomorrow cause the alarm will be going off very soon!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Ellie

 

You're welcome.

If you keep getting javascript.dll errors, be sure to get Java/VM.

But lets first see how your computer behaves now that we've removed some serious clutter.

Good luck,

 

Hi Tony........

Well.......I still get errors at that bluemountain.com site:

This is the latest error....and it froze the computer:

IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in

I'm not having problems anywhere else........maybe it is just this website?!

Ellie

 

TonyKlein:

Does this automatically update your files(automatically check periodically for updates) or can/do you do it manually?

 

These are just the latest 'spyware definitions', much like with your antivirus.
You install them manually.

 

Thank you Tony Klein

 

I tried all the input here......

Adaware - which got a lot of junk out of my computer....

I installed Microsoft VM..........

And I even upgraded my browser to IE6.....

I went to the website bluemountain.com on another computer using AOL and I had no problem accessing the sign up.

Today, after I upgraded to IE6 - I went on this computer using IE 6......... when I attempted to sign-up I got a screen that said there was an error and it was being reported to MS.... then it shut down the page.
I closed the browser.....emptied the temp files......checked my security levels and readjusted......rebooted the maching......
Went back to bluemountain.com...... went to sign-up..... now it does nothing......... no error showing.........just nothing!!

I was starting to think this was the website...... but I was able to access the sign up with no problem on another computer......so I am guessing I'm still having a problem and now it isn't even telling me what the error is!!

Ellie

 

Yes it is.

You've just had you first encounter with the wonderful world of Microsoft Error Reporting.

You should click 'click here for details' in your error message, and tell us what it says there.



Good luck,

 

NOPE........I promise I'm not getting that little screen!
I got it once.......and I should have done the click here...but I didn't!

Now I go to bluemountain.com........anothe window pops up...wanting me to sign up......I DO want to sign up.....so I click the sign up in the little box.......and I get a blank page....the status bar says Done.

I Do Not get any errors from IE!???!!?? (only the first time I tried)

I accessed this page on another computer so....I can only believe there is a problem with my computer even though IE is not telling me so!!

When I got the blank page I looked at the source<<<<
