Msgsrv32.dll is a dynamic-link library
(DLL) that handles error message codes for Windows-based drivers. If
Msgsrv32.dll encounters an error code that it is unable to handle,
Msgsrv32.dll may stop responding.
This problem is known to be related to VXD Driver files. VXD driver files
are commonly used in creating printer and video drivers for Windows. To
ensure that the problem does not involve the video driver, set your display
to use the Standard VGA Driver that ships with your operating system.
Have a close look at the drivers for
your modem as well. Make sure the correct ones are installed, and that they
are the latest available for particular modem and operating system.
Finally, try to find out what programme may be causing your problem.
Disconnect from the internet. Shut down all programmes. Use ctrl, alt, del
to shut down everything except for explorer and systray. Now connect to the
internet and see if the problem recurs. If it doesn't, let things restart
one programme at a time, testing between each change.
If you have installed any freeware or shareware around the time that the
errors began, look at it with a suspicious eye.
Export your cookies using file/import and export. You can import them when you are finished.
Shut down
all programmes and boot into dos if you are using Windows 95 or 98. If using
Windows ME use an appropriate disc to access DOS. Run the following commands
from the windows directory, typically c:\windows\>
smartdrv
deltree history (note: use this command to delete the history folder)
deltree
tempor~1 (note: use this command to delete the IE cache)
deltree cookies (note: use this command to delete the cookies folder)
Reboot using ctrl, alt, del if using Windows 95 or 98. If using WindowsME
remember to remove the boot floppy.
Windows 2000 users will have to log in as Administrator to be able to delete
the folders in question directly from within Windows Explorer. Windows XP
users will use the same procedure.
NOTE:
Different operating systems use different paths to the history, temporary
internet files and cookies folders. Check your system to make sure that you
are using the correct path for your machine. For example, you may find your
folders are located at ...\documents and settings\{identity}\{dir} or
similar.
Disable Norton Antivirus script blocking.
Disable *all* other programmes, including your virus scanner. For example, a Quick Time add-in called qttask.exe has been found to cause downloads and installs to fail.
Also, Trend PC-cillin Anti-virus "Real Time Monitor" can cause downloads to fail.
If you are running Windows ME and have Norton System Doctor installed, search your system for files called OEM****.INF (where * is variable) and the files are zero byte in size. If you find them delete them, turn off System Doctor and try the install again.
Microsoft have issued a patch that will resolve the OEM****.INF issue - see the link below:

It is essential to check for spyware/hijackware/foistware. Go to IE tools,
internet options, general tab. Click on the cache settings button and then 'view
objects'. Delete anything you don't recognise. If you are unsure, or no objects
appear, for diagnosis purposes I REALLY like BHODemon,
available at
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm. It does not need
installing - simply unzip and run the EXE programme. It is very easy to use.
I find this programme is a better option than IE6's ability to turn off "Enable
third-party browser extensions (requires restart)". This disables *all*
plug-ins and makes troubleshooting very difficult. Many people
like AdAware, available at www.lavasoft.de
. Make sure you keep the signature files up to date and remember, AdAware may
only remove the current installation of spyware; it may not do anything about
software that reinstalls itself, so unless you want to get stuck in an endless
loop of hijack/cleanout/hijack/cleanout make sure you get rid of whatever is
installing the junk. See my
Troubleshooting advice for information about how to track down and get rid
of spyware completely.
An excellent replacement for AdAware is Spybot. Again, it is a free programme
