Hi, i'm having problems with my kernel32.dll file. Every now and then certain programs crashes because of this file. Also, when this happens it's always in the same address... Does anybody know how to fix this?

Absolutely correct, could be a multitude of things. Add these to the list:

Here are a few of the more common causes of Kernel32 errors:

Bad memory modules
Insert the command DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:ON into your
Config.sys file. You can use the System Configuration Utility (Select
Start > Run and type msconfig in the Open box and press OK, select the
Config.sys tab and add the HIMEM.SYS line by pressing the New button).
Windows will tell you to reboot your computer, watch your screen for a
message HIMEM has detected unreliable memory at address xx:xxxxxx
which will certainly indicate that there's a memory problem.


There is no 100% certain way to test memory except to either substitute known good modules or to use a hardware tester.


Bad or outdated drivers, especially video drivers.
Check with your card manufacturer for an updated set of drivers. Video drivers are updated constandly, it pays to have the latest release, specially if you find yourself having problems with Internet Explorer.

Faulty or dirty cooling fans on your CPU or power supply. The CPU fan can be cleaned with a small paintbrush and some compressed air. The power supply fan should be cleaned only by someone who is comfortable working around high voltage components.

ANIMATED MOUSE CURSORS, MOUSE TRAILS, AND ACTIVE DESKTOP
can also rarely cause these kinds of problems. Try disabling them all and re-adding one at a time until you find the culprit.



Invalid Page Fault in Kernel32.dll Errors:
If you frequently receive Invalid Page Fault in Kernel32.dll Errors, from different drivers (Explorer, Guide.exe, Msgsrv32, Commgr32, Mprexe and others), it is possible that your password list file is damaged. Try re-creating your password list file:

Go to Start>Find>Files or Folders and click the browse button and select c:\windows. Then type *.pwl and click Find Now. When a list of found files is displayed, delete them all

Close the Find window and restart Windows.
Note: you will lose any passwords you have stored, so make sure that you have the passwords written down so you can re-enter them when needed.

In Internet Explorer, go to Help&gt;Online Support, choose the Microsoft Knowledge Base, then check the box that says specify an article ID number, then paste Q150314 into the search box. I'ts titled "What Are Fatal Exception Errors"
