Problem Solution
If your computer is running other utilities, the clock speed may be affected even
more.
Your computer may need a tune-up. Here are some useful hints:
1) Don't run continuous virus checking. Have virus scanner scan your files on a
batch basis. Continuous virus checking slows down your computer.
2) We have had excellent luck with two parts of Norton Utilities:
(a) Norton Optimization Wizard (gets your swap file to the right size)
(b) WinDoctor.
Run both monthly and let them tune your computer.
3) If you have a number of programs running in the taskbar or resident to your
system, delete them. When you close all your programs you should only see about
6-7 programs in your task list.
4) Get enough memory (>64Mb).
5) Run as few real mode drivers as possible (take everything out of your autoexec
and config.sys).
6) Its fun to load a lot of programs to try them out, but every one of them leaves
traces behind in the form of .vxd's, .dll's, and registry entries that will
eventually slow up your system beyond repair. In the meantime, they slow it down
and cause odd functionality.
7) If all else fails, reinstall Win98. Don't just reinstall over your existing windows
directory, either. Wipe out c:\windows and c:\program
files and start again. You may have to spend 4 hours reinstalling your apps, but your
computer will run faster, you will use less disk space, and it will be more reliable.
Download a Clock Synchronization program, which synchronizes with the atomic
national clock. One example is www.beaglesoft.com

I receive Invalid Page Faults and General
Protection Faults in Kernel32.DLL
Invalid Page Faults and General Protection Faults in Kernel32.DLL are generally
caused by a lack of system resources, out of date video drivers, or a corrupt
swap/paging file. If you encounter the problem on a regular basis, the following
instructions should help resolve the problem:
Windows 95 users ONLY. (Windows 98 users proceed to step 2.)
If the kernel32.dll error occurs while you are browsing and you are using
Windows 95, this problem could be occurring due to Windows 95 bug.
The bug is present in earlier versions of Windows 95 and Microsoft has
posted an update which resolves the problem. In order to determine which
updates you need, right-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop
and select Properties from the menu. Click on the General tab to make
sure it is in front.
If you have the version of Windows 95 on the left, you should follow the
instructions on the right:
