Be sure to install any service packs or other patches available for the program. One of these may have resolved the kernel32.dll problem that the software is causing. If necessary, you may need to stop using a particular program if it’s the only cause of the problem. In Windows XP specifically, and when Skype is installed, you might get the kernel32.dll error message when trying to run the program if you don’t have SP3 installed. If you suspect that drivers need to be updated but aren’t sure where to start, update your video card drivers. Outdated video card drivers sometimes cause kernel32.dll errors. Replace the memory if it fails any of your tests. If the hard drive is the likely culprit, replace the hard drive and then perform a new installation of Windows.
