kernel32.dll problem

[nitrodude150]

Before, UT3 used to only crash upon loading certain maps, but now I can't load any map on any game mode without it crashing. Every crash features the tragic "Kernel32.dll" problem, can anyone help me? I got an Athlon 5600+X2 and a 9800GTX+, so i dont think my comp specs are the problem?

Delete Unreal Tournament 3 settings folder in My Documets\My Games\"Unreal Tournament 3".
Install Lates NVIDIA WHQL Driver.
Apply Patch 4 (aka Patch V2.0).
Now Start The game.

This solved the problem for me.
