Explorer Constantly Crashes

Share

Question: When I double-click one link on Internet Explorer, Windows Html Help, or Windows Explorer I receive an error message and window closes. It doesn`t happen when I use contextual menu right-clicking over the link.

My operating system is Windows 98 SE; Internet Explorer 5.5 and the error message says ” error de proteccin general en el mdulo CM8330.DRV de 0006:0000197a.’ Thank you very much for your help.

Carey’s Answer:

Download the latest drivers from: http://www.cmedia.com.tw and install them. Then go to Control panel and under the Sound, video and game controllers choose the SB16 Audio Device. Choose the Drivers tab, Update drivers, next, choose the Display a list… radio button, and then next. SB16 Audio Device should be highlighted, choose it and ignore any warning messages windows gives you. Load the drivers.
