kernel32.dll

[Laura]

IE keeps bombing out with the error message "explorer has
caused an error in kernel32.dll. Explorer will now close.
If this problem persists try restarting your computer". Of
course restarting does not help. This is not a page loader
problem that I've seen documentation about.
