Occasionally Kernel 32 errors can be caused by problems with your password
file, who knows why! But cheap and easy, and relatively stress free, is to
look for files with ".pwl" extension, and rename them ".dud" e.g. Then see
if it still crashes out, you'll lose any presaved passwords but nothing
else, and W95 creates a new ".pwl" file automatically when it doesn't find
one!
