Kernel32.dll Windows 98/ME Issue Crashes Microstudio

[jaddams]

Dakis67,

I don’t want to be too technical but your question requires a bit of an explanation for reasons that will become evident by the end of this post

This is the perfect solution...

....the quickest way to get rid of Kernell32.dll messages is to upgrade to either Windows 2000 or Windows XP! Neither of these Operating Systems use Kernell32.dll

Meanwhile…

1st. We need to know the complete error message. (Please post it back)

2nd. Try an updated version of your video card driver first, especially if you have a Voodoo card.

3rd. Try disabling any memory resident programs you have running.

4th. You may want to clean boot the computer to help you identify the particular third-party memory-resident software. Note that programs that are not memory-resident can also cause IPF error messages, and

5th. It very difficult to pinpoint your problem as being caused by MicroStudio.

Kernell32.dll errors can be caused for a number of reasons
The Kernel32.dll file is a 32-bit dynamic link library file that is found only in Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Millenium Edition (Me). The Kernel32.dll file handles memory management, input/output operations, and interrupts.

When you start Windows, Kernel32.dll is loaded into a protected memory space 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, not always the error message is caused by one particular program, and other times the error message is provoked by multiple files and programs, and/or damaged hardware.

The following conditions can cause Kernel32.dll error messages:

Damaged swap file
File allocation damage
Damaged password list
Damaged or incorrect version of the Kernel32.dll file
Damaged registry
Hardware, hot CPU, over clocking, broken power supply, RF noise, ground bounce, or bad hard disk controller
BIOS settings for Wait states, RAM timing, or other BIOS settings
Third-party software that is damaged or incorrectly installed
.dll files that are saved to the desktop
Non-existent or broken Temp folder
A control panel (.cpl) file is damaged
Incorrect or damaged hardware driver
Incorrectly installed printer drivers or HP Jetadmin drivers
Damaged Java Machine
Damaged .log files
Damaged entries in the History folder
Incompatible or damaged dynamic link library files
Viruses
Damaged or incorrect Msinfo32.exe file
Low disk space
Other problems that depend on the Kernel file.

Best regards,

Jon

P.S. Please post your system configuration AND complete error message.
