IE6 causes error in kernel32.dll

See if this helps:

Add/Remove Programs, highlight Microsoft Internet Explorer, click Add/Remove button, select Repair and click Next and OK. Reboot when asked to.

I have done that twice so far and it has not helped. I also saw a fix on this site where it said to edit the registry and  restore
IE. That has not worked either. I have reloaded ME twice as well.  Thanks for the reply though.

Your problem could still be a virus!   You may like to take a look at the link below which refers to this error. Scroll down
to see under the 8th item and the comment  "It is possible that a third party spyware may have been installed on your computer".  
                        http://www.5starsupport.com/faq/ie.htm#14-8

Then you could try >>           http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/w/winshow.asp

Also see the six other MSKB articles.

Had another look at the problem and if you still have an issue, you could consider your statement
              >  Microsoft IE has encountered a problem and needs to close <   

You could look under the sub-headings 'Workaround' in each of the appropriate six MSKB articles above, to
find your solution.
             

Here is what I have done today...I did go to the 5star site and tried several fixes.
I have another computer that is a twin to this one so I removed the hard drive
and installed in that one and the problem followed the drive. So now I know
it has to be software and not hardware. I also installed the drive on a known
clean computer as a slave drive and scanned for viruses, adware and spyware.
No viruses were found but I did find a few more tracking cookies. Installed drive
back in the system and the problem still exists. Workarounds as suggested in a few
MSKB articles did not fix the problem. I did discover that when I try and get into
system information to do a system file scan, I also get a KERNEL32.DLL error.
I have extracted several dll files that were suggested in several articles and yes
the problem still exists. So, what I have decided to do is miiror this drive with another
one so I have the customers data backed up and format and start from scratch.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Several conditions can cause a  Kernel32.DLL error, and the fastest troubleshooting route is said to be this six stage
checklist, shown here in brief.    (credit to Richard G Harper).
     Bad memory modules (RAM)
     Bad video drivers
     CPU, bus speed or multiplier over clocking
     Faulty or dirty cooling fans on your CPU or power supply
     Graphic Acceleration is set too high
     Animated mouse cursors, mouse trails, and active Desktop

The above suggestion was just a thought, and i guess a Format has to be the most reliable & thorough method!

But you may well have to return to checkout some of the components above, if you're still in trouble.  If you think we
can help further, please report back.   Thanks.

By installing the drive in another system that works great with the exact same hardware and installing the drive with
the problem and the problem follows the drive meaning I have the exact error on the other system that works great
with its own drive. This should rule out hardware.  

I talked to three reps so far from Microsoft and they are stumped as well. In the interest of saving time , I think a format is
the best way to go as well. I will post a message when the drive is reloaded and tell you how it went.

OK, thank you.    Be interesting to hear the result.

Almost forgot to post the result...I wiped the drive...reloaded os, drivers, and applications. Updated windows files and all is well. the system is back to like
new condition.

Thanks for the feedback, glad you've fixed it!  However, as you have solved the problem yourself you may like to
ask for a refund, posting a 0 points question here, with a link to the above question:

As I have payed the $99 fee. I should have unlimited points to use.
Is this correct?

Well, thank you.     That's two thirds of my required monthly 'QM points'   :)         Good luck mheinemeyer!
