The article [Error Message: Mspaint Caused an Invalid Page Fault (Q185501)] discusses this type error.
I've got Windows 98, and am currently unable to 'open' the documents created by MSPAINT and saved in the 'My Documents' file. My other saved documents there are fine, but with the saved MSPAINT documents I get the consistent message: 'MSPAINT has caused an invalid page fault in module MFC 42 DLL.' Then, of course I'm forced to close the program. any ideas? Thanks
