I have a HP Pavillion, its running windows 98, the cd drive is shot so the solution(s) must not not involve it.
The computer was hanging upon shut down so I downloaded something from microsoft for it. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but it's the last thing I remember changing before the [bleep] hit the fan; which was a few days later.
I turned the computer on and it said something to the effect of error loading kernel, you must reinstall windows, then it turned off and I started it again and it brought me to a selection menu etc...
I played around with this, sometimes I got through to the normal start but it eventually froze up, it wouldn't remember any save settings for my ares program and it dissassociated my media content from respective players.
I ended up rendering the kernel32 file old and replaced it with a new one from dll files.com or something or another, its in swedish
( I just looked as I was typing this and I see that now it isn't?) Anyway it seemed to do the trick, the content player saved along with ares but after a reset everything happened all over again minus the error when loading kernel.I also am only able to use my internet access for about five minutes after starting the computer, afterwards all th browsers error when attempting any page. I don't know when this happened except for it was not before the initial problem.
P.S. When I typed about the swedish thing, I meant the prompt for "Standby, Shut Down" "Restart"... It is back in english now.
