Installing Windows 98 Lite

Explorer.exe is one of those applications that often causes an invalid page fault in module kernel32.dll. (If this is really the only application that does so, you could try two things: 1) extract the file from the Windows cd; 2) restore the registry.)

One major difference between Windows95 and 98 is the shell, which means the graphical interface that is build around what really matters. Windows98 makes use of explorer.exe and shows you an Internet browser window when you view the control panel, manage your files and folders, go to 'my computer', etc. An Australian programmer called Shane Brooks has done a good deed by creating a 'Lite' version of Windows98 and making it available as a free download. You can download Windows98 with a 95 shell and have a choice between keeping or losing Internet Explorer.

We don't mean to take sides in the Browser War, but if you have a general kernel32.dll problem, it doesn't make much difference which browser you use. In fact, there seem to be a lot of kernel32.dll problems with Netscape Navigator. Using the 95 shell is a good idea, though, but be prepared for a long download.
