MSGSRV32.EXE 4.0.0.1112 Jan 12, 1999

Many people are experiencing problems which they can trace back to Msgsrv32. But Msgsrv32 is not the cause. Some info on Msgsrv32:
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
Run the shell program (usually Explorer.exe) and re-run the shell if it fails to respond
Mediate Plug and Play messages among various parts of the operating system
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
Display the initial logon dialog box if networking is enabled
Play the system startup and shutdown sounds

Usually these messages appear on shutdown

What is the exact error message?

Edited text of question.

To Rayt33:Thank you for your quick response and  for the information. I am looking for that particular file only in response to this question, and not for information concerning the error messages.

I wish I could point you to the download but on Microsoft's site this is the info they give for the file. And I am assuming you already found that.

To Rayt333: Thanks again. That must be the  source of the user's request for that file.

Does it have to be only that version? or any later version?

Also has he tried to copy that file from Win98??

Rayt333: Yes, it has to be that version. Yes, he has tried the Windows 98 version, and another Windows 95 version. Once he tried that file, if it doesn't work, that troubleshooting step will be finished. He continues to troubleshoot the problem.

MS Support will authorize a download of this file based upon a telephone call to support along with the key code and Win95 ID.

Hi guys...
this might sound funny .. but from my XP this msgsrv32 error come from the sound card drivers and direct sound...
try botting in safe mode and remove the sound card from the device manager then reboot again in normal mode and reinstall the card..

Good luck

Dennis: Use terryfree@altavista.com

Thanks.

On its way!

File downloaded was version 4.00.1111, dated September 24, 1996, not the requested file version 4.00.1112, dated January 1999.

dew_associates: Thanks anyway for unsuccessfully trying to get me the file. After downloading and
entering the password, that file when extracted was the same version, 4.00.1111, dated 8/24/1996. I was asking for 4.00.1112, dated January 1999.

I've followed up with Microsoft's OEM support and should have the correct file shortly. I didn't want to download that fix and then try to send it as an attachment.

Thanks!

Sorry for the canned email message Terry, my email was on auto-respond so that your file didn't sit and wait for me to get back.
