It really depends on the specific kernal32 error.

You may need to update some device drivers.
You may need to install a Windows or application program patch.

You may have some corruption in the Windows registry.

There are some good links to understanding error messages at www.bootdisk.com

I suggest that you copy down all of the details of the error, and check out the known causes for that specific error.

Or, provide us with the details of the error so that we can give you the correct solution.

The KERNEL32.DLL file is a 32-bit dynamic link library file that is found in Windows ME. The KERNEL32.DLL file handles memory management, input/output operations, and interrupts. When you start Windows, KERNEL32.DLL is loaded into a protected memoryspace so that other programs do not take over that memory space.

On occasion, you may receive an invalid page fault (IPF) error message. This error message occurs when a program tries to access the KERNEL32.DLL protected memory space. Occasionally, the error message is caused by one particular program, and other times the error message is provoked by multiple files and programs.

You may want to clean boot the computer to help you identify the particular third-party memory-resident software. However, programs that are not memory-resident can also cause the errors.

Any of the following conditions can cause KERNEL32.DLL error messages:

Damaged swap file

Fileallocation damage

Damaged password list

Damaged or incorrect version of the KERNEL32.DLL file
