Lots of people having issues with latest Skype update these days. The error message concerns Kernel32.dll Note: Do NOT attempt to change this .dll on your computer. This is not the issue. The problem is that Skype have stopped support Win XP SP2 and older. You need to update to XP SP3 from Microsoft help center then possibly reinstall Skype again. Do note: Microsoft themselves will stop support this XP from April 2014 onwards, and so will lots of other software vendors. Hope it helps!

If your getting an error that you dont have the KERNEL32.DLL file that probably means you dont have at least XP service pack 2...
Hi! I used to use Skype for a long time without problems. But recently I have received notification on updating the program. So after updating of Skype, the latter doesn't run. Only notification "Fatal Error" with short description "Failed to get proc address for SetDllDirectoryW [Kernel32.dll]" is appeared.

Hệ điều hành của Microsoft bao gồm nhiều thư viện khác nhau. Cái sau được chia thành các thành phần riêng biệt. Một số trong số đó là DLL. Đương nhiên, nếu tệp cần thiết bị thiếu hoặc bị hỏng, sẽ xảy ra lỗi khi cố gắng bắt đầu trò chơi.
Lỗi “The Procedure Entry Point Could Not Be Located In The Dynamic Link Library Kernel32.dll” là lỗi thường gặp khi cài driver cho Windows 7 ngay tại trang chủ của hãng sản xuất phần cứng. Cụ thể là nếu bạn dùng Windows 7. Khi tải driver trực tiếp cho card wifi khi cài đặt máy sẽ báo lỗi như bên dưới và không thể cài được.
Lỗi này nguyên nhân chính xảy ra thường là trường hợp mới cài đặt lại Windows 7 hoàn toàn mới. Thiếu một vài gói update sau đó nên xảy ra lỗi. Do vậy nên cách khắc phục chỉ cần cài đặt gói update KB2533623 là xong.
- Tải gói update KB2533623 cho Windows 7 32 bit
- Tải gói update KB2533623 cho Windows 7 64 bit
Sau khi tải về, chỉ cần mở lên cài đặt gói update, sau khi cài đặt xong chỉ cần khởi động lại máy và bạn có thể cài đặt lại driver bình thường.
