Windows ME

SheroN

i turned on me puter as usual there about 30 minutes ago...and when windows went to load up i got this ****ing error message telling me 'msgsrv32 has crashed' i pressed close and 'msgsrv32 has caused an error in setup.dll' is thrown in my face....and windows just sits there leg a vegetable.

i restarted a few times then and the same thing kept happening....I tried booting up in safe mode and the same thing happened.

Then i loaded up and the error came up but windows loaded.

anyone got any ideas what's the story here?
any way to fix it bar a re-install?

windows has only been installed since the end of december.

common error in crap operating systems.
solution = install win2k mate

Your best bet would be to boot up with a startup disk. then use extract.exe to get the msgsrv.exe and maybe startup.dll from the cab files on the winme cd and copy them into whereever there supposed to go, probably windows or windows\system.
Then install win2k.

If you cant do that just boot up from the winme cd and reinstall over your existing messed up one. You will keep all your installed progs and all the previous settings.
