Guest Plushy Al Logan Posted October 1, 2003 Report Posted October 1, 2003 Why is it whenever I enter a website a certain way, or move my mouse in a certain way does it shut down my computer due to an illegal operation?! What the fuck is an illegal operation anyway?! This has been bugging me for years, I have to know!
Guest Razor Roman Posted October 2, 2003 Report Posted October 2, 2003 Basically, I understand an illegal operation error to occur usually when a program tries to access an address in memory that is already being used by another program - and it generall causes at least the two programs involved to crash. Of course on the earlier Win 9x based systems that were a little less stable, that could cause the whole computer to crash.
Guest JohnnySwift Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 When you start getting illegal operations it's time to do the 3 R's of Microsoft: Restart, Reformat, Reinstall...or just say a lot of time and energy and upgrade to 2K or XP
Guest OnlyMe Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 ...when a program tries to access an address in memory that is already being used by another program... Pretty much, yeah. Windows then kills one program, so that it doesn't cause more memory problems.
