Mapping Drive to Computer with Korean Name Causes GPF

ID: Q230372

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5 for Windows 98

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.

RESOLUTION

A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem.
