SpywareGuard & OLEAUT32.DLL

I am running Win98 and since installing SywareGuard I am experiencing "illegal operation....." errors when starting programs from taskbar or MSOffice Toolbar shortcuts.

Here are a couple

MS Toolbar:
MSOFFICE caused an invalid page fault in
module OLEAUT32.DLL at 0167:6539f9b9.

ZoneAlarm:
EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in
module OLEAUT32.DLL at 0167:6536962a.

When unchecking real time scanning from SG the problem dissapears. Uninstalling SG also cures the problem.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled SG but the problem remains.

Any ideas please as I would like to run SG real time scanning?

 

I was wondering what version of Internet Explorer you're running.

Updating IE will install a brand new version of the file. It might be worth a try.

 

Thanks for the reply, I am running IE6 SP1.

 

OK, let's first wait for Javacool's opinion on whether this might be an issue he's seen before.
I suggest we'll take it from there.

 

Javacool,

Please may I have your view and suggestions.

I have also downloaded a fresh copy of SpywareGuard, but the same problems exists.

Thanks

 

What version of Microsoft Office are you using?

From there, I'll hopefully be able to try to duplicate the problem.

Thanks in advance,

I am using MS Office 97.

Thanks

I still haven't been able to duplicate this issue - I'm very sorry.

Until I can duplicate it, I'm not sure what other advice to give. Would it be at all possible for you to try uninstalling and reinstalling Office?

Best regards,

Thanks Javacool

I'll live with the problem for the time being. I intend to do a clean reinstall of Win98 and software incl MS Office 97 in the near future.

Best wishes

Zak

 

MS office 97 might suggest an outdated oleaut32.dll.
Try downloading a newer file
(google will give you where to download it)
Worth the try.
