WNAD has performed and illeagal function and will be shutdown, WTF is this?

[currypooh]

Biggest problem with a friends computer is whenever it boots he gets an error that a "wnad program has performed an illegal function and will be shut down". The only thing I can find on wnad is it seems to be a major operating function of Windows.

Can anybody help?

It's an HP, P3, Win 98

Thanks.

you could try this, maybe pin point problem program....go into msconfig.....click start..run...type msconfig....start-up tab...and uncheck all programs that are runnin in background...reboot, if she boots with no problems, then 1 by 1 re-check each program till ya find the problem....just a thought, that may or may not work.
