[Solved] Windows XP Home Edition SP3 - Post-Format Issues: Updates, KERNEL32.dll Error, Opera, and QupZilla

I have a desktop computer with XP Home Edition Service Pack 3.
A few days ago, I formatted this computer as the system got virus.
Now after the format, there were problems with updates and to install and open some programs. Updates after the format were downloaded automatically, yesterday I searched manually with Update, I wanted to install the Opera browser but I get a KERNEL32.dll error. So then I installed Qup Zilla browser - but another error: api -ms -win-cst-runtime-I1-1-0.dll.
Earlier, when I was making the system from this CD, there were no problems on this computer, now updates - Java was asking for download, now silence. Adobe Flash similarly. How do I get the programs to work, how do I fix it? I searched the net, but nothing specific. Apparently, SP1, SP2 and SP3 are downloaded - because XP is known to support no longer. But I count on forum support, help and advice.
Updates such as: Microsoft.NET Framework, Microsoft Visual C ++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) or IE8 or WMP11 have been downloaded. Where is the problem

You have to reckon with the fact that MS Windows XP does not support some software from Vista upwards and choose what you need individually. Java can be installed, but with the message that the system is out of date. Adobe Acrobat Reader - probably up to version 11, v. 9 certainly works. Flash - is no longer used, but can be downloaded from the Adobe website.
Browser - I use Seamonkey. I know some people are allergic, but my robot works well, so I'm not looking for Firefox, Opera or Chrome. A lot of software has to be selected by trial and error. It is good to use "cleaners" such as CCleaner, Glary Utilities or Easy Cleaner.
Note: I was having problems with MS Security Essentials - still out of date, despite updating. I installed Windows Defender (you need to look for an older installer) and then ... laboriously looking for an antivirus or not installing at all.
That's it, because it is a theme-river.

What version of Opera are you installing? As far as I know, version 36 was the last one on Windows XP. Rather, you have to look for the XP version as most of the latest software requires newer systems.

Opera version 47. It does not have to be Opera, but for it to work, as I mentioned above, Qup Zilla is nice and light under XP but I get this error That's right, most of the latest software requires new systems etc, but even before the format, Chrome and Firefox worked for me. Currently only the Chameleon. Maybe the updates that this XP will download are still missing Wait How to fix why such an error that was not there before? I will install Flash and Java and check what's next. Maybe some other idea

You can try patience similar to mine - leave the computer connected to the internet (logged out for security) 24/7. It should download those updates that Microsoft has released until the end of support. It is up to you to choose whether to install optional updates as well - I updated everything, because device drivers were also downloaded. Then you have to control the process "manually", because only critical updates are made automatically.
An estimated indicator that more is not available for download could be the famous "End of Support" info box.
There is also a "static" method - downloading updates from a "private" repository according to a recipe on the Internet. Packages are installed but not registered with Microsoft Update. Therefore, I advise you to do the first option first.

I will, I downloaded Jave SE7 and Adobe Flash Player and 129 updates have been downloaded.
How to fix errors: api-ms-win-crt-runtime-I1-1-0dll? And KERNEL32.dll

Maybe try from the beginning, i.e. fresh installation of win XP, install all the updates you have to download and then start installing the rest of the software you have to install. As a colleague said earlier, more patience. XP does.

Try an older version of the software that is compatible with Windows XP.

So I did, from scratch a fresh install, downloaded updates, and today it downloads more.

From the beginning of my post, the system downloaded the updates twice and now stop, I check the update but there are no other updates, it downloaded Microsoft.NET Framewework probably all that were for XP, from early to later and others like IE8, WMP. I don't know does it matter that this system is in English Microsoft Visual C ++ 2008 and 2015 Redistributable (x86) are missing, I installed Adobe Flash Player 27NPAPI and Adobe Reader8-Polish. Now I wonder what version of Java and where to download it 6 or7, because probably 8 will no longer work on XP, IE browser works I installed K-Meleon and it is very fast which surprised me pleasantly (apparently on the Firefox engine). CCleaner as well, and what antivirus? Is Bitdefender or Panda. I know you have to choose search, but how long to wait for the rest of the update

Antivirus package - I did not want to be specific, because I have a luxuriously paid Symantec Endpoint Protection at work. I'm not complaining - it can deal with bugs or network attacks. However, for private and business purposes, I have good opinions about free Comodo, since the time of the firewall for Windows 2000. In addition, I periodically use the free Eset Online Scanner - he was able to clean up after MS Security Essentials or Symantek.
If you want to work on a computer, my suggestion is this: Do not wait for the next updates, just install the utility software, laboriously clean Windows with the system and external cleaners. Defragment it, because it's probably messed up the disk - system or external tool - Glary has a fast defragmenter with optimizer or Deflaggler (Piriform by CCleaner), which does long but decent. Work normally on the computer. Leave it online and it will look for updates. MS still sometimes publishes security fixes. You won't do it on "tip-top" anyway, and during current operation you have to periodically (e.g. once a month or a week) do so-called system maintenance - removal of ballast files, defragmentation, full and deep anti-worm scanning, etc.

Why don't you want to comment on the antivirus, Bitdefender is under XP and very light supposedly copes well with various nuisances from the Internet, Symantec the one you have reading has no good reviews but it's an individual matter Comodo is too heavy for the system apparently, I will not waited for the next updates because it may take time, it's a pity that the XP system is no longer supported I installed programs that I need, I defragmented with Revo (it has a lot of features) when my system crashed I had no antivirus, I installed Panda and found over 60 viruses, I gave them to cure, but I installed Malwarebytes and found a few more and this program detected some Panda files that it was some suspicious files and maybe I did it unnecessarily (for sure) I deleted these infected files, then the system crashed

I did not want to comment on anti-virus programs because my views are very minor, although based on my "work" and private experience.
For example. Before Microsoft trampled on its Security Essentials (for XP at least), I considered this program to be one of the best free software. It did not silt up inefficient computers and dealt with protection correctly.
Parallel in time (i.e. the times of XP) MS Defender was completely sufficient for protection, although the system was red communicating the lack of an antivirus program. It could be turned off.
Like you, I am preparing an XP computer and tormenting it as much as I can before it goes into service. He's online all the time, he only had Defender with a firewall and it didn't get any catastrophe. The fact that the computer has other protection mechanisms, such as strong passwords and an account limited to the current work. For the sake of peace and quiet, I installed Symantek to meet my employer's regulations.
In turn, the Comodo package has been protecting just as effectively since W2K. It has been a mare for the past four years and can be overzealous. Usually there was something to do, and there was a better false alarm than worming. On W7 it works imperceptibly, on XP it takes efficiency, but not critically. In addition, I had nothing to complain about with the Comodo Dragon browser added. Obviously, I am not a technical guru and I express my opinion from the point of view of a standard user.
About 5 years ago I tested antivirus packages to choose something free to work with before Symantek was bought. Now I looked at the installers from that period that I did not remove: Avira, Bitdefneder and already removed - Avast, McAfee, Arcabit - there were more, but I don't remember. I did not implement them after the test periods. I would have to strongly remember the reasons and it was not the arrival of Symantec Endpoint Protection. I'm pretty sure after all these packages, Eset Online Scanner cleaned a lot, clearly more than after Essential or SEP.
Of course, these are observational conclusions, not supported by objective comparative studies in laboratory conditions.

Still the problem is not solved, unless now the XP system has actually been "killed" but I still can't get over it because before the format, when the system was infected, there were more programs working as I mentioned the Qup Zilla browser very light and fast and I insisted on I also got used to it. Driver Easy downloaded the necessary drivers, the system as I wrote, downloaded updates but stop there, Visual C ++ Packages are missing
and the browser does not want to install and still shows the api-ms-win-crt-runtime-I1-1-0dll error. However, I do not want to give up, there is an error somewhere, I count on advice with this dll - if it is missing, damaged or look where elsewhere. I heard that you can download this dll file and paste into system32 and it can fix the problem and the Packages download and install.

As I said, try installing older versions of these programs. Before the format, you probably didn't have the latest versions.

Installed Visual C ++ Package, api-ms-win-crt-runtime-I1-1-0dll problem. disappeared but another related to KERNEL32.dll appeared.
Similarly, with the Safari browser everything is fine but it does not play videos from you tube there is a black screen saying that there is no ffmpeg that I installed and it did not work, I think it has something to do with HTML5 but how to fix it. Similarly, Opera also dark image does not have audio and video. River theme

Everything is fine, in fact, on XP not everything works anymore, e.g. new browsers or some new programs will not work because the XP system has no support. You only need to install what else works with this system, older versions. Thank you for your help and I consider the topic is closed.

Everything is already on this topic, XP, as almost everyone knows, is no longer supported and you need, as above, the help of colleagues, you need to install older versions of some programs that work on XP. Therefore, with new programs such as the new Opera browser or similar programs, the system will show errors. Thank you and I consider the topic closed.
