I tryed three more times and the same thing happened every time.

A avast error/bug report thing came up, but it wouldn't let me post the whole illigal error message on it, so i decided to ask here.

I am using:

Windows 98 SE (all updates)
Avast pro 4.1 (all updates and demo version)
 
(if you need anymore info please ask)

Invalid Page faults can happen for many reasons, something that's stored in temporary/virtual memory is not there when a program expects it to be there.

If you keep trying, with closing relevant programs, etc. (or reboot), it is likely that you will get the same error.

Have you tried a reboot, and try again that usually cures a host of errors.

Ok just done a restart, the same error comes up still, also the memory test when starting up avast! says everthing is there aswell.

When you installed the Pro trial did you install over the top of the Home version?

I would suggest attempting a repair install from the add remove menu, failing that a complete uninstall (using RejZor's avast! External Control program), followed by an re-install of the pro trial version. Other than that I at a bit of a loss.

I have no idea what the ASHENHCD does, hopefully Vlk, Pavel or Igor will give us some insight.

Just found out what the faulting AHRUIOUT.dll module is avast! MS Outlook/Exchange AAVM Provider GUI Library So something in the GUI Library would appear to be causing a problem.

What is this GUI library you speak off?

Im overly bothered about srting it out, i don't use outlook/exchange, it just that the avast bug warning came up and i wanted to inform AlWIL so they could fix it if it was.

Lee, like David said, generally speaking, page faults could be originated for a lot of reasons... I won't call them a 'bug', specially on Windows 98...

Do you use Outlook/Exchange plugin or only Outlook Express (and Internet Mail provider)?
Can you post what you have on avast logs that you think could be related to this?

I don't actulay read any mail anless its from hotmail, i no use outlook, could that be the problem?

And i wouldn't no how to even get to avast logs.

You don't need the Outlook/Exchange provider (disable it, or remove it using the add remove in windows) unless you are using MS Outlook.

It could be the cause of the problem if it is looking for MS Outlook and it is obviously not finding it, but that I would have thought would have given a diferent error meessage.

Don't you have Log Viewer into avast! menu (right click the skin)?

They are only slightly different, is this someting to be worryed about?
Should i email ALWIL just to be safe?

BTW there doesn't appear to be any logs at all in there

Move the slider down... to Debug and you will add all the log above the slider...
Anyway, logs are for errors, so you have few  

[igor]

OK, I think I found and fixed this bug.
Btw, you didn't have the "Advanced configuration" checkbox checked, rigth? It should help to check it...

[lee16]

Ok using the same system and everything.

I checked the "Advanced configuration" box and i was able to set everything to high, then as i closed the advanced configeration screen it had another illigal error, i was about to click details when another box came up saying "error loading explorer.exe, please reinstall windows" (i think this is the right message) then the whoe pc froze/crashed and i had to reboot via the power on/off button.

Do you need me to get the exsact illigal error posted?
