War 3 user fix for Kernel32.dll problem - update Media Player

Subject: Solved my KERNEL32.DLL problem with Voodoo 3
From: Fizzbin
Date: Thu Jul 11 19:06:35

Don't know if this will help anyone else, but I couldn't run any cinematics due to annoying KERNEL32.DLL crashes. The solution turned out to be totally stupid - I simply upgraded Windows Media Player to version 7.1 using the Windows Update feature off the start menu. Now the cinematics work fine. Maybe I'm the only dupe who didn't already think of this, but it might be an easy fix for a few other KERNEL32.DLL suffers.

Note: The Windows Media player upgrade doesn't appear as a "critical" upgrade - make sure you scroll down to find it on the list.

Let me know if this helps anyone, so I don't feel like I'm the only user dumb enough to lose nearly a week of playing time to this simple fix.
 
i doubt that is the solution.
kernell32 is rather a problem with hardware and how programs interact with the hardware .

on the otherhand we talking windoze here hehe
 
Actually this has helped some people. Media Player accesses the internet to download codecs and such and War3 apparently uses it in some fashion.
 
Hey - I don't validate the fixes, I just post them... :D
I think this guy said he was having the problem with freezing on the opening cinematics. To me, there's a little logic that this would work in that case, but I don't really know what I'm talking about, so I'll leave it at that.
 
The war3 movies use DivX now so Media Player may be related

as opposed to Bink or whatever format was used in previous games

    It's an unnecessarily long and just not that good of a cord. Falls out of the little clip I put it in.
  • Varine Varine:
    And yeah I was working. It was a suprisingly good weekend, I didn't run out of anything until today and had most of resolved. I think the only thing I didn't have some solution for was halibut, but in my defense I got 45 pounds or something last Thursday. It took me like an hour and a half at the end of the night.
  • Varine Varine:
    Today I had to scramble, I didn't work most of dinner service and no one told me shit. They had a rough few hours lol
  • Varine Varine:
    I have two salmon, Sockeye and Atlantic. Atlantic is used for the kids salmon and the salmon and beet salad, and can also be added onto any dish or just as a side. Atlantic salmon will almost exclusively ever be FARMED, as it is endangered in the wild, and we ALWAYS cut them to 4 ounces.
  • Varine Varine:
    SOCKEYE salmon, very different and this IS wild caught. We have an ENTREE version, and an add on version. The entree is 7 ounces, the add on is 4. Why? Because that is how someone that wasn't me set up the computer.
  • Varine Varine:
    I had to have this conversation like ten fucking times tonight
  • Varine Varine:
    The issue being, I came into work and had none of this whatsoever
  • Varine Varine:
    No one told me shit
  • Varine Varine:
    So, taking into consideration that what I typed out up there is kind of some fucking nonsense that under normal circumstances no one really needs to fucking be able to explain in any rational way
  • Varine Varine:
    Let alone trying to figure it out from a wildly stressed out me that is also on a phone call trying to get something to show up from Seattle tomorrow while trying to explain this salmon situation, that also is barely solved in maybe a few hours and and but I am bulking it with a few steelhead filets I have and that is a WHOLE fucking different thing to the 19 year old server that got put on day shift C crew that doesn't know who I am.
  • Varine Varine:
    I did however really want days. I like getting off at 4 half the time, and that makes it worth it!
  • Varine Varine:
    Also I hate my job right now but I think that was the hard part. Now it's just work
  • Varine Varine:
    @jonas I'm sorry? I don't know what you're referring to.
  • Varine Varine:
    Once we hit winter I feel like I get to back to having a pretty cool job. Like I bitch about it all the time, but it's work. I'm still gonna bitch
  • Varine Varine:
    All in all though I think this summer is going really well. Some complicated things, but at the end of the day it isn't THAT big of a deal. Not all of our servers have quite realized they are technically sales
  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah it is a substitute, but FOMO. Chef isn't getting this again this year, he has to figure it out, so it's slightly off on the menu, but that is more or less the LOWEST quality and price. Right now, steelhead is a real stealhear, right?
  • Varine Varine:
    Like fuck off even I can do it
  • Varine Varine:
    I am going to get one of my servers to do that in her server voice and you'll see my point
  • Varine Varine:
    Maybe the bartender. Idk, it's one of my favorite things to hear them go from calm to customer service voice. They will translate it to like "The chef is trying to change that a bit right now so he does have a Alaskan river steelhead. Yeah like the one you might fish probably!" And then the girls can bat their eyes and do pretty girl server shit
  • Varine Varine:
    At least that's how imagine some of them. Did you know mayonnaise is dairy free? A suprisingly amount of people don't\
  • The Helper The Helper:
    mayo is eggs right?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Seems I never watched the Witcher - looks like i have a lot of content
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Season 1 Episode 8 the marathon continues...
  • jonas jonas:
    mayo is eggs & oil
     +1
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I got halfway season 2 on The Witcher and it lost me. I am going to have to pick this one up again later.
