having problems with internet explorer and my pc.
i can now only connect to the internet via outlook express.Every time i double click to make the connection my usual way nothing happens at all!
Also when i try and double click anything in the control panel for instance, the message `rundll32.exe is not a valid win32 application` appears, and won`t let me do anything.
Also while on internet explorer the message `the OSSPROXY.EXE file is linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL:Is Debugger Present.` will appear say every 15 minutes or so.what is this? and how do i get rid of it?

please if anyone can help regarding the above, please reply cos it`s doin my head in!

thanks for yout time.

To be honest, I would back up everything and re-install Windows. It may seem a bit drastic but as well as curing any niggly problems, it also wipes away all the rubbish that accumulates on your system over time. You`ll probably find that your PC runs a lot smoother and faster.

Little tactic (Befoe this thread gets moved) that`s helped me in the past.

Start>Settings>Control panel

Add/Remove programs, click on `Microsoft Internet Explorer and tools`, click the `remove` button

In the box that appears, click `Repair Internet Explorer`

Except it doesn`t have that if running Windows XP, alas.

I`ll second the re install suggestion. sounds like your system is seriously screwed if its complaining about kernel and rundll all over the place

Yep, I had the kernel 32 thing a couple of years back, I think it was to do with memory management or something. The only thing that sorted it was a re-install. :(
