Ok so I boot up the family PC on day and a few errors popped up on the desktop. It was something like "Kernal32.DLL error" and it gave me a generic description. I, being the computer wizard of the family, thought it would be a genius move to just delete the file to stop the errors from popping up and my parents bothering me every day for the rest of its life. All went well until the PC was booted down. You see, the file resided in System 32, and I had deleted something with the word "Kernal" in it. I did not get a blue screen, oh no. Windows booted up to the loading screen (the black one for XP). It gave me a dialogue box with the simple words "Windows boot error code purple: Windows cannot boot". stuffstorm ensured (I didn't tell them I was the cause of the boot failure), and we ended up with a new computer (for the family).
