General Protection Fault in module USER.EXE....

I'm running plain ol Windows98. After my Windows Explorer is running for 10-15 minutes, and idle, I will get "Iexplorer caused a general protection fault in module USER.EXE at 0003:00006c50. Somtimes the number changes. I regulary clean up ActiveX issues with Norton Utilities.
any ideas.

A general protection fault may indicate that software or driver problem. A memory problem can also cause it. I would first go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and update software. An IE(?) upgrade (http://microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp) may fix it. If the problem is still there Click Start, Run, enter drwatson, OK. When a program fault occurs, Dr. Watson generates a snapshot of the software environment. Click the Details button in the error message to view the information that is gathered. Larry

Larry,

This appears to have solved the problem. Computer running now for about 24 hours with no general protection faults.
Thanks
