Win98 msconfig & KERNEL32 terminal error

When I am in normal mode and I run msconfig it's fine until I either go
cancel or ok.
I get the following terminal error that then goes to an unreturnable blue
screen (hard boot necessary)!
KERNEL32 caused a general protection fault
in module KRNL386.EXE at 0001:000075a2.

However when I hit the x to kill the window I get the blue screen message.
"Fatal exception OE has occurred at 0028:C000BDB9 in VXS VMM(01) + 0000ADB9
Enter = freeze up and hard boot but can soft boot at that stage.
In save mode msconfig seems ok!

I had no problems until I got msn messenger 6,2 and now I cannot even end
some task when I try to close down sometimes.
HELP!!! Any assistance would be appreciated
