I have Sony Vaio laptop. After installing network card and HP all-in-one machine I have been having problems. After turning on the power, at start up, the message comes up: You have performed an illegal operation....and it has to do with kernell32.dll. I know it is related to Win98. I can operate my laptop but this message at start up worries me.

kernell32.dll is a dynamic link library. It handles memory management, input/output operations, interrupts and other stuff. Anything you in a Windows app - kernell32.dll is doing something. Could you specify the exact wording of the error? sometimes, you can click on details and get some feedback.Is it invalid page fault or what is it?

Hi, There is a conflict of two devices calling for the same memory address. You need to disable or remove the network card, and see if you get the same message. If you do, disable or remove the HP all-in-one machine, to see which one is causing the conflict.

Most likely it is the network card if exact proceedures on installing it was not followed, and the correct protocols are in place.

Also check for the latest drivers and BIOS upgrade. Some of the sites I use regularly
are:
www.windrivers.com
www.drivers.com
www.driverheadquarters.com.

You can also check to see if you have the latest version of kernell32.dll at:

Good luck and have a great day.

Most probably it is a startup program that is failing to start . Remove or reinstall the startup program that is causing the problem . Best way to find out is to disable all startup applications and enable them one by one . Shortcut to these programs can be found in the Startup directory or you can use the System information Application in the accessories / system tools section .

Good Luck !!!!!

Point value changed by question poster.
The problem was solved by the owner of this laptop by reinstalling the software before I was able to use or check responds from all subscribers.

If your error reads "Iexplore caused an Invalid page fault in module kernel32.dll" followed by "Msimn caused an invalid page fault in module kernel32.dll" and you have Mcaffee virus software installed.Microsoft
recommends that you disable it and find the update bug fix for Mcaffee.....
