UT3.EXE Kernel32.DLL error

Kernell32.dll is not the piece being shut down, it is UT3.EXE with mod name kernel32.dll.

 

UT3.EXE Kernel32.DLL error

All things in System specs are true except for the 9800GX2. I know have a 4870.
Thank you for the response, I will let everyone know everything I've tried:

Reinstalling drivers (the right way)
Reinstalling the game
Reinstalling the .net distributable 3.5 SP1
Reinstalling Direct X
Edited UTEngine.ini (this is what got me past the splash screen)
Reinstalled all related drivers (sound, etc...)
Disabled Antivirus applications
No Current Overclocks
Tried "Checking integrity" of game files
Tried running in different compatibility modes
Tried running with -nosound
Tried tweaking with the CCC settings(is there a DXT textures option? Ive heard it was supposed to fix this, but it doesnt show up in my CCC (yes I do have advanced options, no im not retarded, thank ya))

All suggestions welcome. Remember 4870, not 9800GX2. WinXP 32 bit. no FFDshow, is disabled.

It actually brings up 2 different errors: kernel32.dll and UT3.exe.

 

Applications Fail to Start with Kernelbase.dll error

Hi JeffCollins2,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I appreciate the time you have taken to resolve this issue. In order to get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below:

• Are you facing the same issue with all the applications?
  
• Are you aware of any changes happened on the computer prior to this issue?
  

The file KernelBase.dll is a DLL file stored in the
system folder of Windows operating system. It is created automatically during the installation of the Windows operating system. KernelBase.dll is used to launch
.exe applications. When it is corrupt, you will get .dll missing or not found error when you start the programs.

I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and let us know about the results.

Method 1:
Register the .dll file.

• Tap on the Windows key on your keyboard and type Command prompt.
  
• Right click and Run as administrator.
• Type: regsvr32 KERNELBASE.dll
• Restart the computer and check.

Method 2: Copy the same file from another computer.

I would suggest you to copy the KernelBase.dll
file from another computer running the
same version and editionof Windows operating system.

The location of the file KernelBase.dll
differs in each system based on the architecture. If it is 64-bit Windows OS, then the
KernelBase.dll file is located in
C:\Windows\SysWOW64. If it is 32-bit OS, then
KernelBase.dll file is located in
C:\Windows\System32.

Method 3: Create a new user account.

The reason might be due to user account corruption, so I would suggest you to ‘Create
a local user or administrator account’
and check if the issue persists.

Note: You will not see all your files under your default file location.
So your data will be saved under C:\Users\User_name.

If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.

Hope it helps.
