When you attempt to load a page which contains a JPEG File Interchange
Format (JPEG) or CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) image, you
receive the following error:
MSPAINT has caused a invalid page fault in module MSPAINT.EXE at
0137:0042d3fe.
NOTES:
| • | The address of the invalid page fault may vary.
|
| • | This problem occurs under both Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft
Windows NT, version 4.0.

This problem occurs when all of the following are true:
| • | You installed Microsoft Plus! For Windows 95.
-and-
|
| • | You installed Microsoft FrontPage or Microsoft Image Composer 1.0.
-and-
|
| • | You tried to open a .gif, .jpg, or .jpeg file in Microsoft Paint.
|
This behavior occurs because the Microsoft Paint program, Mspaint.exe,
is incompatible with the new version of the JPEG graphics filter
(Jpegim32.flt) that is installed by Microsoft FrontPage and
Microsoft Image Composer.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Paint.
Back to the top
Microsoft Paint, included in Microsoft Windows 95, is able to work
with a JPEG filter called Jpegim32.flt that is installed as part of
Microsoft Plus! For Windows 95. When you install Microsoft FrontPage
or Microsoft Image Composer, a new version of the JPEG filter is installed,
replacing the old Jpegim32.flt.
Because of the way in which the MSPAINT.EXE program calls the JPEG
filter, MSPAINT causes an invalid page fault in MSPAINT.EXE if the new
Jpegim32.flt file is installed.
