I am running a decent computer, Put together from scraps. It runs windows 98 and thats my first problem. Because of that I cant run up to date software. But I have a problem with running internet exploror and windows media player. More than half the time as soon as I open IE it gives me that send or dont send error report thing, sometimes its the red circle with the x in it saying there was an error. It happens a few seconds after the homepage loads. Then it closes the IE browser. But when it doesnt happen then it will do it at random websites but only when I am opening a new page. It does this same thing with my media player, I will open it then half the time I get the error and it closes it. So freakin annoying. I scanned for viruses, errors and got ride of programs and files I dont need. Its telling me the errors are from these files:
VBscript.dll
Kernel32.dll
Flash9.some odd file, starts with like an O or something.
Ill throw 300,000 points to anyone who can solve this.
Get a new computer like an e-machine they are affordable.
Where's my money
Seriously, what virus checker did you use, and checked for spyware? I would say buy Norton or McFee, norton is probably better. Thought of upgrading IE or what version are you running?

You have a spyware or worse a trojan. Get some antispyware at downloads.com
I will get back to you on the result of your ideas. I just bet my money away but I will have it back on sunday if someone is the lucky winner. The virus scan doesnt seem to be a brand name. Just something thats on the comp.
you need to get a better one with up-to-date definitions which may explain why you're still having the same problems. virus bot is free I believe and decent but if you have a cable modem or a connected to the internet all the time you really need a fire wall-why I mentioned Norton or McFee.
I imagine you mean control panel then network connections. This comp doesnt have the network connections folder/icon thing. I know what your talking about cause my other comp had that. Gimme some more, you seem pretty confident but I think it might be more than repairing the connection.
First, make sure you fit these requirements:
Flash 9 requires: Intel® Pentium® II 450MHz or faster processor (or equivalent) and at least 128MB memory.
For Flash 9 to run on Windows 98 you need to run Internet Explorer 6.0 or later.

1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Information.
2. On the Tools menu, click Registry Checker. You may receive the following error message:
Windows encountered an error accessing the system registry. Windows will restart the computer and repair the system registry for you.
If you receive this error message, proceed to step 3. If you do not receive the error message, then your registry is OK.
3. To restart your computer, click OK.
4. Press ENTER when the "Windows 98 Startup Menu" appears.
5. At the command prompt, type Scanreg and then press ENTER.
6. In the Check Your Registry dialog box, press ENTER. You should receive the following prompt:
Windows found an error in your system files and restored a recent backup of the files to fix the problem.

Check for a Corrupted Swap File
The Kernel32.dll error may also appear if your Windows swap file is corrupted. To create a new swap file, restart the computer in MS-DOS mode, delete the Win386.swp file in the Windows folder, and then restart the computer. To create a new swap file, follow these steps:
1. On the Start menu, click Shut Down.
2. In the Shut Down Windows dialog box, click Restart in MS-DOS Mode, and then click OK.
3. At the MS-DOS prompt, change to the Windows folder by typing the following command
cd <drive>:\Windows
where drive is the drive letter that contains the Windows folder. Typically, this is drive C.
NOTE: The swap file exists in the Windows folder if Windows manages virtual memory settings on your computer. If you chose to manage virtual memory settings on the computer, the swap file exists at the root level of the hard disk. To determine whether Windows manages virtual memory settings, right-click My Computer, click Properties, click Performance, and then click Virtual Memory.
4. To delete the swap file, type the following:
del Win386.swp
5. After you delete the swap file, restart the computer.
