This article was previously published under Q221547 SYMPTOMS
On a Windows 95- or Windows 98-based computer, if you have a sufficiently large array of structure as an OUT parameter of a Remote Procedure Call (RPC), the RPC server may encounter an invalid page fault.
CAUSE
An out-of-memory condition is not handled properly in the RPC code. If the amount of the allocation request for the OUT parameter exceeds the available virtual memory, the RPC server causes an invalid page fault because of incorrect out-of-memory handling code.

Install the appropriate DCOM 1.3 upgrade:
Win 95:
Win 98:
