Grego,
From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced uncheck "Enable third party
browser extensions." That should allow IE to open.
Then...
Run CWShredder from
http://www.net- integration.net/tools/hijackthis.html
It's been
the most helpful with this type of problem. CWShredder is only about 125 KB
so it could be downloaded from another machine onto a floppy disk if
necessary.
You may have to follow CWShredder with Ad-aware and Spybot, see:
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
You should re-enable browser extensions after the cleanup.
Also...
A legitimate program running in the background may be causing this. Disable
(for diagnostic purposes) programs such as pop-up blockers, security,
anti-virus, etc. Also... notorious for causing problems- Gator, Kazaa and
some others.
There are other possibilities for KERNEL32 errors:

I get this message when attempting to start internet
explorer. I have battled this problem and can't solve.I
have read the published advice on this issue experienced
by others posted on this site (graphics settings,
parasites)with no luck. I doubt it relates to the
graphics card - suspect some added (intentionally or
unintentionally) has caused this issue. Any other
thoughts?
