SYMPTOMS

If a drive maps to a computer with a Korean name, you may receive a general protection fault (Trap 14) error message. This only happens with some Korean characters. For example, if you toggle to the hangul input mode and type "ghdgusdn" the problem occurs. But if you toggle to the hangul input mode and type "dlgodhr" the problem does not occur.

CAUSE

The Urlmon.dll file is replaced when you install Internet Explorer 5. Urlmon.dll is not correctly translating certain Korean characters.
