ASHQUICK caused an invalid page fault

[GeOS]

Hi
When I right click a file and scan it, at the end of the scan I get the error message:

"ASHQUICK caused an invalid page fault in module <unknown> at 0000:1b10f3dd."

It only seems to happen the first time I scan the file.  If I repeat the process or immediately scan a different file it works fine.

Using Avast 4.0 Home Edition with Windows 98 SE.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Hello,

please, try to follow the advices given here:

The error message is different although the fix may be the same.

The files mentioned in the second link don't seem to be files that I need generally as all other programs seem to work fine on my PC.  Does Avast need them specifically?

I don't think it needs specifically the new versions, but the older ones may contain bugs...
Many programs use (and install) the Jet drives - MS Office for example.

Hi Geos...

"ASHQUICK caused an invalid page fault in module <unknown> at 0000:1b10f3dd."

It only seems to happen the first time I scan the file.  If I repeat the process or immediately scan a different file it works fine.

That sounds identical to the problem I had with AshSimpl causing an invalid page fault.  I had to update my Jet40 to SP7 because, according to Microsoft's description, Jet40-SP3 is buggy.

Try the trick mentioned by Vlk:

Try the following: open the file avast4.ini located in the <avast>\data folder, and replace the line

Database=ODBC

to

Database=XML

Then restart the computer and see if it helps.

If that fixes your problem (but does cause another - e.g: you can select specific folders scanning, but always get a full scan) then you will need to update

I am not to sure that you need the MDAC-TYP.exe, but take it anyway in order to "complete" the update.

Avast! uses a Jet database (is it Access 2000? - see the file ...\Avast4\Data\Avast4.mdb) and the SP3 version of Jet40 must be updated in order to work with it.

I think I had to change to Jet40-SP3 when I had to install the MS-XML SDK.

Hope it helps

OK will give it a try.  Thanks all.
