Hello
I encountered a problem I couldn't solve w/98se... a real can of worms!!
This was the worst for me, I did 2 fresh installs of 98se and each time the
problem resurfaced and was a nightmare!! I had no alternative and installed
W-XP
My problem was w/MSGSRV32.EXE. I've been installing and using the same
procedures for yrs. now. After the install I get devices set up, have
everything I need to do this easily. I'm on dial-up and I make a simple DUN
connection, no ISP s/w to make a new connection, don't use the ICW. Only
install DUN and Phone for networking services. I dial-up ISP, I'm ok. Next I
run the complete setup for IE6-SP1, do my settings for IE and I install my
a/v, and dial-up again and get the big first update for my a/v program, next
I configure my firewall. I install Spyware Blaster, Spybot, & Ad-Aware
Personal. Next I proceed to WU.
Has anyone reported a problem like this ???
I have my DUN, connection is good!!
No problems....
I install IE6-SP1 and my nightmare begins!!
Note: the install for IE6-SP1 is totally successful!!
My problem is w/MSGSRV32.EXE
I check all my settings, same settings for yrs., same ISP.
I look at IE connection settings, modem, etc. all good!!
I click the launcher and dial, the dial part didn't seem to be the problem,
but at the server verification point a lockup occured, but the connection
would be made, very strange!!
I would do a ctl/alt/del and see MSGSRV32.EXE highlighted.
I would end it, end task.
I would wait a few seconds, the machine would unlock my connection icon
would drop into the system tray.
I could open OE and even bring my mail down, however the machine was
crippled... couldn't do much else. If I closed
OE, could open fldrs. or My computer, etc... This was h---!!
After 2 fresh installs, and not being able to fix it... I installed Win-XP
Prof.
I appreciate help, I do want to solve this... but I need a working puter and
really need help!!
Thanks, Star
