Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / January 2005Kernel 32 error again
I wake up the PC from a nap and see the following error message and was wondering if the following detail error message would assist you to assist me in identifying the culprit. Many thanks in advance. It goes: KERNEL32 caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0177:bff7a382.

Check for the existence of Kernel32.exe but don't do anything to kernel.exe 'cuz that's normal. rick Please explain. Why on earth do you think something called kernel.exe is normal? I have no such file in Win ME and there is no such file in the .cab files in my Win ME CD. ...Alan SignatureAlan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.windowsme.general, Rick T <plinnane3REMOVE@NOSPAMyahoo.com> wrote: >> That indicates to me that you may have a Kernel32.exe > > and if so, then [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >rick > Please explain. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > ...Alan my bad, I thought there was something wrong with that statement as I was typing it. Rick Alan, many thanks for the kind suggestion. I searched and found only iKernel.exe which is installed by installshield software corp. It is in c:\program Files\Common Files\installshield\6\intel32. Other than that nothing else found. I have scaned the pc thoroughly for viruses and none found. Looking forward to hear whether or not the above file needs to be removed. Thanks again. > Please explain. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > > >rick You mentioned Kernel32 and that is nothing like iKernel. I would leave iKernel alone and concentrate on finding a file called Kernel32.exe It may be hidden and difficult to find with a search. You might also try a different anti-virus or check through a few of these: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=kernel32.exe ...Alan SignatureAlan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.windowsme.general, "Chris" >Alan, many thanks for the kind suggestion.

In the original question I mentioned Kernel32.dll not kernel32.exe. However I searched for kernel32.exe and found none. Only the Kernel32.dll. for kernel.exe I found iKernel. You mentioned the kernel32.exe through looking at the detail of the error message, I take it. At any rate I will look into the link you have posted. How else would I be looking for the exe file? I guess I am sort of happy that I don't have it, I got scared by the virus suggestion. > You mentioned Kernel32 and that is nothing like iKernel. > I would leave iKernel alone and concentrate on finding a file called [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > >> > > >> >rick Chris, I assumed Kernel32.exe as you had this in your original post: "KERNEL32 caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0177:bff7a382." KERNEL32 with no extension normally has a default of .exe Perhaps you don't have it but then I don't know what the first KERNEL32 could be. You would look first in the Windows folder, then in Windows\System and then search the Registry with Regedit.exe for kernel32.exe in case it is elsewhere. If the above doesn't find any trace of it, then you have a good chance it is not there. Ensure you have your Explorer view set to show all files. ...Alan SignatureAlan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.windowsme.general, "Chris" >Alan, thanks for the reply.

(Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab) If you cannot see anything in Msconfig then: Start-Run-msinfo32 Click the + beside Software Environment to expand. Click Startup Programs Ctrl+A to Select All, Ctrl+C to Copy. Paste that information in your message. ...Alan SignatureAlan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.windowsme.general, "Chris" >Alan, thanks for the reply.

However, due to a freezing I had to do a scan disk and the following error was reported: This drive's boot area contains important informatio that is damaged or invalid. This can cause window to report th drive's free space incorrectly or slowly. Scan disk repairs the boot area by recording the correct values. It repairs. but when freezing occurs again same problem is reported. Very intriguing to me. > As an afterthought, have a look in Startup as well. > Check in Msconfig for any oddities.
