Fatal Exception..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

I just started getting "Fatal Exception 06 occured at 00FF:000044FA" message
as soon as my PC connects to ISP and is downloading home page. Please help.
Thanks

I have seen a lot of Fatal Exception reports after users try to acdess sthe
internet through IE. Seems like the common thread is the download of the last
two IE updates. I also have the problem but my FE is 1576. My daughter also
has the problem now. I am able to get on the WWB by loading IE first befor
bringing up the ISP. I did see other responses that said they were successful
after removing KB89171.
I am about to try that.

Thanks for your help. I uninstalled the KB891711 update, rebooted and the
internet connection is back to normal. When I ran the Windows Update, this
one did not show up as one that I was missing (perhaps it was taken off by
Microsoft given all the problems).

In order to help you, where do I go to find out my system info and "Post
back with as much detailed info as you can about your computer....processor
type and speed, BIOS version, motherboard chipset, display adapter type, and
so forth."

Hi all,

Just thought I'd share my experinces with my recent Windows 98se startup
problems which I have solved thanks to the advice in this group.The PC
booted up correctly, but the dreaded blue screen came up after the desktop
background was shown. The message was "fatal exception 06 occurred @
0000.00000238".

After reading a few postings in this group I unchecked KB891711 in the
Startup tab. The old PC started up with no problems after that.

The dreaded fix seemed to stop the loading of all .TTF files only (failure
code 0016) the .FON files loaded with no probs. The odd thing is I could
still type using the unloaded TTF files in Word!

The question is am I leaving my PC open to all sorts of attack, even though
I am antivirus and firewall protected?

Thanks for being there.

The write-up on it is horrific...

Vulnerability Details
Cursor and Icon Format Handling Vulnerability - CAN-2004-1049:

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that cursor,
animated cursor, and icon formats are handled. An attacker could try to
exploit the vulnerability by constructing a malicious cursor or icon
file that could potentially allow remote code execution if a user
visited a malicious Web site or viewed a malicious e-mail message. An
attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take
complete control of an affected system.
........EOQ..................

Click around in there, though, for the possible safe hex measures
Terhune has alluded to. Naturally, keep your virus scanner up-to-date as
well.

You are welcome. There may be some sense in it, but I've only taken a
quick glance, myself. It doesn't appear to stress the esoteric IE/OE
options that can be used for protection, though. Neither does it fully
explain it's suggestion about "NeverShowExt". I seem to have ten of
those, but they already are all NULL ("" ). Let me know what happens with
that one!
