When booting my computer I get a message regarding GetProcessFlags in dynamic library that Kernel32.dll is missing. I do see that file in the system32 folder under C:\Windows. I am using XP SP2 and don't know how to correct this and get rid of the message.

Please Don't post the hijackthis log in this section Thanks .

Please do this.
Download 'Hijack This!'. HijackThis
Save it in a convenient permanent folder such as C:\HJT\, double click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
Or HERE if that link fails to work or you don't have a zip program installed .
Your copy of HijackThis needs to be in a folder of it's own. When HJT fixes anything, it makes backups of the original files in the folder it is in. Since Temporary folders are emptied now and then (the files are DELETED), it would not be a good idea to have your backups there. Those backups would be VITAL to restoring your system if something went wrong in the FIX process!
1. Please go to you're 'My Documents' folder, right-click and select 'New > Folder' then name the folder 'HJT'.
2. Copy and paste HijackThis.exe to the new folder.
3. Close ALL windows except HJT
4. SCAN with HJT
5. POST the new log in this thread using 'Add Reply'
DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES OR CLICK "FIX CHECKED" UNTIL WE CHECK THE LOG, AS SOME OF THE FILES ARE LEGIT AND VITAL TO YOUR COMPUTER'S HEALTH

Vineet, operate under the assumption that kernel32.dll is fine, instead look for a startup program tha might have a problem. You could use msconfig to temporarily stop things such as Orbit Downloader, TUProgST, GoogleUpdater, and restart to see if the error re-occurs.
