Kernel32.dll

[Dave]

I receive a lot of error messages "Explorer has caused an
error in Kernel32.DLL, Explorer will now close" This
causes the explorer to lock and require reloading the
explorer. It happens after pop ups, moving to another site
while using favorites. Any ideas?

I have recently upgraded to 6.0.28 from 5.5 with no
improvement

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
