How to Repair Computer Speeds With Freeware

1. Open your Internet browser. Go to a computer website that offers freeware listings, such as MajorGeek, PC World, PCMag or Softpedia. Navigate to the anti-virus or anti-malware section first. Look for an anti-virus program, such as SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware or Avast Antivirus. Click the download link and save the anti-virus freeware program to your hard drive.
2. Go to the 'utilities,' 'PC optimization' or 'all-in-one' section of the freeware-download website. Look for an all-in-one freeware program. Read the descriptions of each program and select one that has multiple utilities, such as a registry cleaner, system and junk-file cleaner, hard-disk cleaner and defragmenter. Examples of programs that contain such functions include 360Amigo System Speedup, PC Health Optimizer Free Edition by Retina-X Studios, the TweakNow PowerPack 2010, IOBit's IOBit Toolbox, GIGATweaker, RegToy and Glarysoft's Glary Utilities. Select a program and click the program's download link to save the freeware to your hard drive.
3. Double-click the anti-virus and all-in-one optimization freeware's installation file. Follow the onscreen prompts to select a hard drive folder for the program, create optional shortcuts on the desktop and install the program on your system.
4. Double-click the anti-virus software program to open it, or click on the program from the Start Menu's 'All Program' list. Select the 'quick scan' option, if available. Click the 'Scan' button and wait for the anti-virus program to check your system for viruses, trojans and spyware. Review the results of the scan and, since many anti-virus programs select the infected files automatically, click the 'Fix' or 'Remove' button to have infected files cleaned and removed.
5. Open the all-in-one or PC optimizer freeware program. Click on each of the modules or sections the program contains and select either the 'Scan,' 'Next' or 'Find Errors' button, depending on the wording of the program and the particular function you're running. For example, Glary Utilities contains a 'Scan Registry' button, while 360Amigos System Speedup contains a 'Find Errors' button in the registry section. Wait for the program to carry out the task or system scan. Click the 'Clean' or 'Repair' button to allow the freeware to optimize and finish the cleanup of your system.

How to Recover From Kernel32.DLL

1. Avoid overclocking your processor. Overclocking is accomplished by raising the speed of the computer's system bus, which forces all the components in the computer to run outside of their normal specifications. Any component, when stressed, can cause Windows to crash.
2. Check for a software issue by finding and removing viruses or malware on the computer. Most anti-virus software allows for a 30-day free trial, giving you the ability to remove viruses and decide whether you like the software before paying for it. Install an anti-virus program and allow it to scan your computer fully. Popular anti-virus programs include NOD32, Kaspersky and F-Secure.
3. Visit the Windows Update website (see link in Resources). Note that this website only works with the Internet Explorer web browser. The website will scan your Windows installation and determine whether updates are available for your system. Download and install all available updates.
4. Check for and download updated drivers for your video card (see the links in Resources). After inputting the model number for your video card, you will be given a link to download the driver, which will be a self-extracting file. Double-click the file, and follow the prompts to update your video drivers. The computer will need to be restarted after the installation.
5. Confirm that you have no potentially conflicting software installed. Software that could conflict may include multiple printer drivers, anti-virus programs or two different versions of Microsoft Office. Uninstall the software you do not use.
6. Double click the 'My Computer' icon on your desktop and then click your hard drive. Check to see how much free space you currently have. As the computer is used, Windows devotes a small amount of hard drive space to temporary storage. The amount of storage space required may vary, and if Windows attempts to expand the temporary storage file and cannot, a Kernel32.DLL error may result. Delete unnecessary files to reclaim hard drive space.
7. Install Windows on a second hard drive if you have the resources to do so. A fresh installation of Windows should exhibit no software issues, and if Kernel32.DLL errors continue after re-installing Windows, the problem is almost certainly related to a hardware component in the computer that is failing. A computer technician may need to be contacted for help in diagnosing a failed component.
