Msgsrv32 crashes after startup

Every single time I start this computer up the msgsrv32.exe file crashs right after start up. I can't figure out why either. All I know is that if I start opening something while windows is still loading it general does not crash. The really weird part about it though is I don't get any error messages at all. The whole computer just stops working and I can't do anything, however if I press ctrl alt delete it says Msgsrv32 is not responding. If I press end task on it windows starts working again but I can't close any opened programs or open any new programs.

Here I my system spec's in case you need them

Atholon 1 gig
MSI k7t pro 2-a mother board.
AGP-v7700 deluxe GeForce2 GTS
256 megs pc-100 ram
Sound is on board

If any has any idea what might be wrong please let me know. I have just reinstalled windows ME so this is a fresh start. Nothing is on here but what windows installs.

I havce very simular specs, except that it's a PIII 1 GHz Dell with 256 ram. I also have a big problem with sytem resources. The big probelm is that my old PII 400 with 128 RAM WIn98SE always has at least 80% free ressources and does not ever crash on load. I should hassle them into giving me Win 98SE again.

Just figured I'd post back to let you two know. I managed to fix my problems it seems. All I had to do was update my motherboards bios. I don't know if you guys both have the same card but the last update of the bios for my motherboard which is version 2.9 fixes an error with the Geforce2 communicating with the HDD it said. As soon as I flashed it my comp started running perfectly. So far no errors. I've reset quiet a few times too. It's been working good for about 24 hours now. I suggest you guys try updating your mother board bios.

If you guys look in the archives July, you'll see my own plea for the same problem. Turning power management off in System is supposed to help for a lot of people. Failing that you need to go into msconfig (RUN it) and just switch off startup options until you isolate what causes it.
