First, MMSYS.CPL is an applet in the control panel for multimedia:

149648 - Description of Control Panel (.cpl) Files:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;149648

As for the 2nd question, are you sure about "kernal32.dll" and not
"kernel32.dll"? Kernel32.dll is a windows file while kernal32.dll is not a
Microsoft file and you may have a larger problem. If the problem is in fact
in kernel32.dll, see these links:

Kernel32 error on exiting OE.

Possible damage Happy99.exe virus/worm.
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q221/4/86.ASP

Three more that may apply.
