`
`Kernel32.dll is the 32-bit dynamic link library found in
`the Windows operating system kernel. It handles
`memory management, input/output operations, and
`interrupts. When Windows boots up, kernel32.dll is
`loaded into a protected memory space so other
`applications do not take that space over.
`
`On occasion, though, users may encounter the "invalid
`page fault" error.
`
`This error occurs when a program or application tries to
`access kernel32.dll's protected memory space.
`Sometimes the error is caused by one particular program
`or application, and other times it is provoked by
`multiple files and applications.
`
`If the problem results from running one application, then
`the application needs to be replaced. If the problem
`occurs when accessing multiple files and applications,
`the corruption is probably caused by faulty hardware.
