Ausatco,
Thanks for your very specific help (it's what an idiot like me needs).
I eventually managed to locate the kernel32 file in win95-17 cabinet and not the _11 one (it only took expanding 1580 files!!!). Fortunately I remembered my *.* stuff from years back and managed to see the kernel thing as it was extracted. I'm sure your computer has it in the right place and appreciate your help.
Anyway, I managed to copy it into the Windows system folder (you're right, you can't do it while Windows is running) and then rebooted. I'm afraid to say, though, that the result was not good (despite crossing all fingers and toes).
So I've got my squeaky clean copy of Kernel32 in the windows system folder but it still doesn't like loading up the radio1 website. I still get the illegal operation stuff and it still closes down my Explorer. I blame the French (only joking).
So, anybody got any fresh ideas. The ones so far have been good....just not that lucky.
Thanks everyone,
Pontius
