kernel32.dll

[amy]

This is the message I get when opening IE. What is it and
how do I fix it. It won't let me use IE anymore.

From my limited knowledge of Windows, I know that
kernel32.dll is the dynamic link library that pretty much
handles the CPU requests/responses. Most likely what has
happened is that IE tried to send the CPU a bad command
that cannot be processed. I suggest you try reinstalling
Internet Explorer and applying all service packs for
Windows and Internet Explorer.

B. You may need new video drivers. Check the site for your video board
manufacturer. Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (For Win 98, Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will
see little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.

If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.

If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini
