Boot to DOS.
Delete the old kernel32.dll and replace it with the new one.

That will work...but rather than delete the old file...
I'd rename it...at least until it's confirmed that the new one worked

DOS commands.

You will need to boot to pure dos...
so you will have to use a boot disk
or else shutdown and restart in dos

Done the replacement, checked the rename had been done using DIR
command.
Unfortunately window wouldnt load properly, stopping on protection
error. Undid the replacement, windows working again.
Very strange since the replacement .DLL clearly worked on my previous
install.
Pity because the latest Irfanview ( and ccleaner) are not fully
functional inspite of their claims they work in W95. They will crash -
give an error indicating kernel32.dll cant find a link to a debugger!

This *might* work:
Try putting the newer version of kernel32.dll in the Irfanview folder (and
the ccleaner folder)
it should not effect windows...but the applications *might* look in their
own folders first ?

Have you considered using the version 3.80 of Irfan Viewer that was made
specifically for Win95 Gold and Win95A? It was available in an installer file named
iview380_win95.exe but I don't know if it is still available online. It is
different than the standard iview380.exe installer. I could upload it to my web
space for you if you want to try it. Send me an email using a valid address, and I
will send you a link. Email me at glen dot vee @ gmail dot com
If you have Win95B or C, you shouldn't have a problem with Irfan Viewer, so I am
guessing you have Win95A or Gold.
