No matter what i'm doing get box that says shutting down,kernel32.dll ,default,msvcrt,default,always shutting down because some file caused a default have reinstalled windows several times ,formatting first,still the same thing,expecting to get kicked off at any time. Can anyone tell me what to do?
 
Not a default, ladyhawke, a page fault or protection fault. As soon as you boot up, hit ctrl-alt-del, select the kernel32.dll and end task on it. Then, hit Start-Run and type in MSCONFIG and hit enter. Click on the Startup tab. Remove the checkmark from kernel32.dll (if it's there). Close out of the dialog box and reboot your PC. Reply if that doesn't help.<br>

It also sounds like you probably need to delete your temporary files by now. After you reboot, hit Start-Find-Files or folders. Type *.TMP,~*.* in the &quot;named&quot; box, have it look in (C:\) and include subfolders. Hit &quot;find now.&quot; When it's done finding all the files, hit ctrl-a and then the delete key. Run a scandisk and reboot your PC again. Hope this makes it run great.
