Guest Plushy Al Logan Report post 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Razor Roman Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JohnnySwift Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest OnlyMe Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
