Clipped from DejaNews: Common causes of Kernel32 crashes include: (1) Bad memory modules. Try inserting the command DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:ON into your Config.sys file with the System Configuration Utility (Start/Run/MSCONFIG, click the Config.sys tab and add the line as above). Reboot your computer and watch your screen for a message "HIMEM has detected unreliable memory at address xxxxxxxxx" which will certainly indicate that there's a memory problem. It may take several reboots over a period of days for this to show up. You can also download diagnostic software from http://www.ami.com/ or http://www.bcmcom.com/ to test your system's memory. Unfortunately, there's no real 100% certain way to test memory except to either substitute known good modules or to use a hardware tester. (2) Bad drivers, especially video drivers. Check with your card manufacturer for an updated set of drivers. Sad but true, many of the drivers that shipped with Windows 98 are already outdated. (3) CPU, bus speed or multiplier overclocking. Don't. :-) (4) Faulty or dirty cooling fans on your CPU or power supply. The CPU fan can be cleaned with a small paintbrush and some compressed air. The power supply fan should be cleaned only by someone who is comfortable working around high voltage capacitor components. If you're not sure if this is you, then trust me, it isn't you. (5) Graphic acceleration set too high. Right-click My Computer, select Properties, then the Performance tab, then the Graphics button. Turn down graphics acceleration a notch, reboot, try again. Repeat as necessary. (6) Animated mouse cursors, mouse trails, and Active Desktop can also rarely cause these kinds of problems. Try disabling them all and if the problem disappears then try re-adding one at a time until you find the culprit. -----Original Message----- From: Mary Koetting [mailto:Mary_Koetting@mail.mchcp.org] Sent: Thursday, June 03, 1999 1:02 PM To: 'midrange' Subject: kernal 32 error when exiting VRPG program We are about ready to release our first visual RPG program (so you know we're infants at this) but we have one last problem to solve. The application has an invalid page fault in kernel32.dll error almost always when exiting the program. We're using Windows95 and 98. It doesn't happen on an NT machine. Does anyone have any idea what our problem is? Has anyone put on the new module release of VRPG? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
