Msgsrv32 Problem

[vat19]

Can anyone help with this problem,<br />Everytime I disconnect from the internet my cursor flickers between eggtimer and pointer and my C.P.U. usage rises to 99%. When I hit CTRL./ Alt/ DEl I get the message " MSGSRV32 not responding. I thought the problem was connected with messenger service so I removed it from my system but that hasen't helped.<br />Any help would be appreciated.

I used to get the same problem. The best thing to do is have a look at microsoft knowledge base as this is a well documented problem that can be caused by a number of things including software conflicts. The only way I managed to get around it was by a full reinstall of windows after formatting my hdd. hope you don't have to do that!

Cheers new_rotic,<br />Thanks for your reply, I'll try the Knowledge base.<br />I think I would rather suffer this minor nuisance than re-format.

Thanks again<br />vat19

Msgsrv32.exe is a program (Windows 32-bit message server) that performs several background functions necessary for Windows operation.

These functions include:

Load installable Windows drivers at startup and unload them at shutdown <br />Run the shell program (usually Explorer.exe) and re-run the shell if it fails to respond <br />Mediate Plug and Play messages among various parts of the operating system <br />Coordinate automatic responses to Setup programs. This includes checking whether a Setup program has improperly overwritten Windows files, and optionally restoring the Windows versions of those files <br />Display the initial logon dialog box if networking is enabled <br />Play the system startup and shutdown sounds <br />Usually these messages appear on shutdown. Here are some more common errors and their causes:

MSGSRV32.DLL caused a General Protection Fault in Module CM8330SB.DRV <br />You need to visit the C-Media site and upgrade your drivers

See: Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Q188803

<br />Msgsrv32 not responding <br />See Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Q169987

<br />MSGSRV32 caused a general protection fault in module CMCODEC.DRV <br />This behavior can occur if you have Cmedia drivers loading in the [386Enh] section of the System.ini file.

See Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Q222629

<br />Msgsrv32 Caused a General Protection Fault in User.exe <br />This behavior can occur if you have faulty computer hardware or a damaged driver or program, or if your Windows core files are damaged.

Don't know if this will help but good luck
