i've had this frustrating problem lately. on my windows 95 B, P166, i get this and similar errors when i come out of my screen saver: EXPLORER caused a general protection fault in module USER.EXE at 0003:00005f9a. Registers: EAX=371f0000 CS=17d7 EIP=00005f9a EFLGS=00000206 EBX=0066479c SS=2b2f ESP=000088f0 EBP=000088f2 ECX=00000006 DS=16ef ESI=00028970 FS=2437 EDX=00000000 ES=23d7 EDI=00020001 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 1f c9 ca 0c 00 66 58 5b 66 50 e8 85 fb 55 8b ec Stack dump: 890c32f7 0dc707df 32f70092 2b2f8970 00000000 00002b2f 2b2f0000 6074892a 897017d7 00002b2f 16ef0000 00014060 00000002 23d70002 89660000 17cf191d this only started happening yesterday, so i don't know what happened. i haven't loaded any new programs. i thought it might be a corrupt screen saver, but it's happened with quite a few of the screen savers. it's not just explorer that shuts down. sometimes it's netscape (communicator 4.04), sometimes it's whatever other program happens to be open. i don't know what other information one might need to assess the sitation, but what could be wrong? mark simmons
