The GDI problem could be caused by a program you have un-installed, but which the remnants of it in the Registry are still calling up the Graphical Device Interface. The Kernel32.dll problems can happen all the time even with Microsoft programs due to buggy programs, devices, settings, etc. Just type kernel32.dll into Google search and see what comes up! The plain fact is that win9x almost seems to have been deliberately designed by MS to cause as much frustration as possible, primarily by allowing 3rd party programs, and even their own to overwrite system files instead of each program having their own dll files in their own directory. So without really good housekeeping you will end up with programs trying to call up the wrong version dlls. With large hard drives there is no reason why there cant be multiple versions of 'system files' in their own directory. This is in addition to buggy programs. Have a look at this site for answers/links to kernel problems: www.svetlian.com What you need are some good housekeeping utilities. System Mechanic is very good, a bit pricy though. Just try to relax, it's all a bit of fun really!! Grrr. Cheers |

| 16167 | 2001-07-28 03:26:00 | Just another thought Bob, about the kernel problem. Apparently, spyware like Aureate can cause an IPF error in kernel32.dll according to Microsoft at this URL: support.microsoft.com Visit http://www.lavasoftusa.com to get the Ad-aware spyware remover program. This damned spyware can cause all sorts of problems as well as being totally unethical! Keep trying! |
