The kernel is right at the heart of an operating system. The kernel is responsible for providing all of the basic services required by the operating system including I/O functions, interrupts, and managing memory. In all versions of windows the kernel processes are handled by Kernel32.dll. Kernel32.dll is a DLL (Dynamic Link Library) file which is loaded automatically at startup. If there are any problems with the Kernel32.dll file however this can cause Kernel32.dll errors.
Kernel32.dll is an important file for Microsoft windows and is involved in a number of important processes. This means that there are lots of different reasons why someone may experience a kernel32.dll error. There are many causes of a kernel32.dll error which is why troubleshooting the error can be very complicated.
It’s important to learn how to fix the various dll problems which are vital to the kernel to avoid the kernal32.dll error messages appearing.
The method used to fix the kernel32.dll error will depend on the exact cause and error reported.
This error message pops up whenever a program tries to access protected memory space occupied by kernel32. This means that only one program is responsible for causing the error. However if it happens with other applications then it is more likely to be your hardware which is at fault.
If you commonly receive the Invalid page fault from processes such as Mprexe, Msgsrv32 and Explorer regularly then the cause of the problem is probably a damaged password list.
To fix this error you may have to recreate all of the passwords. Write down all of the passwords to your computer and then search for *.pwl files inside the windows folder. You should then delete all of these pwl files.
Another cause of a kernel32.dll error is because of a damaged memory module. To find to whether this is the case you should run a memory check.
To do this:
If the memory test reports that any of your memory is unreliable then this is probably the cause of your kernel32.dll error and means that you need to replace the damaged memory.
Another cause of the kernel32.dll error is because of spyware and viruses. You should use an antivirus scanner to scan through the files on your computer and look for any potential viruses.
