Greetings to all... I have a friend whose computer is slowly heading South. An error message which used to be intermitent is now becoming persistent. The error addresses the "kernel32.dll" (I'm sorry I don't have the full description of the error message) and has constantly popped up since then. Can anyone please tell me what this file (kernel32.dll) does and how to deal with it? Repair/restore? (AMD 850mhz, 293+MB memory, 40 Gig HD, Windows Me, CD & Burner) Thanks for your help.
