Kernel32.dll is a dynamic link library present in all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows. It handles memory management, input/output operations, and interrupts. When Windows boots up, kernel32.dll is loaded into a protected memory space so other applications do not take that space over. On occasion, though, users may encounter the "invalid page fault" error. This error occurs when a program or application tries to access kernel32.dll's protected memory space. Windows will deny any such requests, and as a result, the program will crash and the user will retrieve an error message. Many Kernel32.dll errors are documented in the Microsoft Knowledge Base and have solutions.
