error in kernel32.DLL

[msacaa]

I have a emachine 733i celeron system with windows ME. After bringing the computer home I hooked it up to the net and went to microsoft's web site and down loaded all the critical updates. Well I have been consistently getting an error that says WCS 2000 error in kernel 32.DLL. Once I had to shut the computer off because it would not go away. What can I do to corret this? I did a search on this site and saw similar problems with windows me. I posted a new message because I was not sure if my problem was the same as the others since they were different systems and possibly different versions of win me. So what should I do, the microsoft site was not help at all.

Thanks,

msacaa

Tell you the truth that is just Windows ME..it causes a lot of problems with the Kernel (kernel32.dll)...

But if it happens CONSTANTLY then it may be a problem with the file or some program that is running on start up. Try going into msconfig or something (go to Start > Run and type msconfig), and going to the Startup tab and unchecking ALL items (Except something that relates to your printer...because i know Lexmark printers require a background program running)

If that doesn't work, go to start> run and type sfc, and restore the file from the Windows ME folder.

A quick web search seems to point at Compuserve. Are you using Compuserve for that new internet connection? If so, check and see if there is a newer version of their software or update patches of any kind.

I'm having some problems with Kernell32.dll! When i connect to the internet (i have a 56k modem) when the connection is login into the server, hapears a windon saying that RNAAPP.exe has made and fatal error in a unknow program and then that kernel32.dll has made an fatal error in an unknow problem... I don't know why does this happens, because sometimes i can connect and others time i can't

Sorry, but I did not have any problem with ME. Most of the errors attributed to ME are not really ME problem.

Chances are some bad files covered by Sowulo reply.

I agree, I'm dual-booting 2K and ME, and have never once experienced trouble with ME. Seems to run very stable for me. So far, I guess I'm one fo the few who likes it. *hides in fear*

if you are using cable internet's software (blueyonder it is know to cause problems by constantly displaying errors while on the net. since their software is not compatible with winme

i would suggest if this is the problem not to use their software and use standard windows me dial-up connection window

I also ran ME fine for quite a while. Still have it on a couple of systems. My kids like 98, and I have an XP Beta2 on my machine. No real ME problems though. I also seem to be one of the few. But since the Hard Drive Cache Utility came out, we haven't had any problems at work either.

i have windows ME and it pretty much SUCKS for me. i keep getting explorer error or netscape errors, or errors for my dsl modem. and stupid kernel errors, i think i might just go back to 98

How ME got into your computer? Have you clean installed it?
- if not, then this the way to go,
- if yes, then have you verified your drivers up to date and compatible with ME? If not then you got the direction where to go. You will have a smooth friendly ME like I do.

Most errors from ME originates from either bugs in applications, or incompatible drivers.
