Illegal operation error messages are often displayed by Windows when it receives a request from a program running on the computer that is not understood by Windows. As a result of the request that is not understood, what the program is trying to do will not be completed. When this occurs, Windows usually stops or shuts down the program that sent the offending request and then displays the illegal operation message on the computer screen.
Illegal operations can be caused by several different factors including corrupt files, bugs in software programs, errors in the Windows operating system itself (which are rare) and sometimes, viruses or malware files. Illegal operation errors can vary in severity with some causing fatal crashes of the system and others just stopping the program that is running. In some cases, work that is being done using the offending program will be lost.
Manually fixing the cause of an illegal operation error message can be difficult as it can be hard to find and replicate what actually caused the error message in the first place. If the program is frozen, you can close it using Task Manager and try restarting it. Sometimes the illegal operation error is due to a conflict with another program so restarting the program or rebooting your system may be enough to correct the issue. If you are consistently getting the error with one particular program, you can try uninstalling and re-installing it. Finally, using a registry cleaner can help get rid of corrupt registry files that may be causing illegal operation errors.
