Hello Merlin,
There are a number of reasons why this error message occurs:
"* An unexpected event has occurred in Windows. An "invalid page
fault" error message often indicates that a program improperly
attempted to use random access memory (RAM). For example, this error
message can occur if a program or a Windows component reads or writes
to a memory location that is not allocated to it. When this behavior
occurs, the program can potentially overwrite and corrupt other
program code in that area of memory.
* A program has requested data that is not currently in virtual
memory, and Windows attempts to retrieve the data from a storage
device and load it into RAM. An "invalid page fault" error message can
occur when Windows cannot locate the data. This behavior often occurs
when the virtual memory area becomes corrupted.
* The virtual memory system has become unstable because of a shortage
of physical memory (RAM).
* The virtual memory system has become unstable because of a shortage
of free disk space.
* The virtual memory area is corrupted by a program.
* A program is attempting to access data that is being modified by
another program that is running."

To troubleshoot, first try re-booting your computer, then shutting
down all extraneous programs you may have running in the background
(Instant messaging, e-mail clients, browswers, word processing
software). Disney Games are notorious resource hogs, and *will* crash
if there isn't enough memory available. (We have this problem with
Disney Trivia, Toy Story 2 Action Game, and the Monsters Inc. Wreck
Room Arcade).
Once you've shut down all other programs, try starting the game again.
If the problem persists, uninstall the game, re-boot, and re-install
it.
If the game still crashes, you'll need to perform a "clean boot" to
troubleshoot it, which is detailed in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Good luck!
