"Program has performed an illegal operation" help (please)

zodiac

Hi, I really need a new computer but I haven't got the cash so this one will have to do. Every time ive been on the net about 30 mins (approx) it comes up with "This program has performed an ilegal operation and will be shut down" :eek:
The details are:

YBROWSER caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 0167:bff9db61.

Stack dump:

If anyone can shed any light on what the problem might be please just post. I have a firewall and anti-virus softwear but I dont know what im doing wrong ;(

Don`t think you`re doing anything wrong but "illegal operation" is a common fault with the Windows 98 prog that I would guess you`re running.

Yeah it is windows 98, thanks

Have you thought of having it reformatted and reinstalling the operating system? We get ours done by a Birmingham company for £30 (which I know is no good for you in London!) or if you're clever you can do it yourself (I'm not clever!). They check the hardware and everything to make sure it's all working okay.
