Windows Forum / Windows Me / System Tools / April 2005MSGSRV32 not responding
My computer keeps freezing and when I do a control alt del I see that the program MSGSRV32 (not responding). If I end this it unfreezes for a while and will do the same again. Any suggestions? MSGSRV32 not responding: Your PC is having problem communicating with your hardware. What changes did you make to your system (hardware, drivers or application) just prior to this problem developing? Try booting to Safe Mode and then either undo those changes or use System Restore to return your system to the state it was in before this problem started, however only use system restore if you made those changes in the last few days, a week ago at most. Look at your hardware, especially drivers. When you see that msgsrv32 is not responding this is normally because it is waiting for a response from a driver that has possibly crashed. Msgsrv32 is just the messenger, the problem nearly always lies elsewhere. See MS KB Q138708 - "Function of the Windows 32-Bit Message Server" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=138708).

For some reason the restores are not there. Steve > MSGSRV32 not responding: > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > the program MSGSRV32 (not responding).

Possibly although I've never had ZA Pro cause a msgsrv32 error here on Win Me although I've had the odd vsmon error on boot up. How long has this been happening? Provided the problem only started in the last few days does using system restore solve the problem? SignatureMike Maltby MS-MVP mike.maltby@gmail.com It has been happening the last week or so. I am not able to restore because the restore was turned off in the control panel, for some reason. any suggestions? > > The only thing I have added lately that I can remember is Zonealarm. > > Could that do it?

You'll have to do the hard work :-( and eliminate in turn each new driver or application that you have installed since the problem began starting with Zone Alarm.

When it happens, take a look at the ZA log (or screen) to see if any outgoing attempts have been blocked near to that time. May as well run a scanreg/fix from a command prompt as well (can't hurt).
