illegal operation error

Post by OneCapturedMoment »

I have had PI10 for some time and never had a problem. Now when I try to open it, I get the message, This program has performed an illegal operation. I have restarted my computer but I am not very computer literate. I know my hard drive and ram are big enough since I have never had a problem before and don't have anything new. I have windows 98 (I know it's outdated but I can't afford a new computer yet). If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Microsoft says, “ERROR: This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.”

There is little you can do when you get an “illegal operation” other than uninstall the Software and reinstall. This is especially true if you are running Win 98 first edition as opposed to SE, which often does not have the updates for 98 or I.E.

If you uninstall PI 10 then make sure you delete the Installed folder and all of its contents after removing the software and before reinstalling the software, to get rid of any configurations files.

Thanks, I was scared this is what I had to do. I hope I can do it. I love my PI10. Sheila
