msgsrv32 error, when activating Internet connection sharing

Hi all,

I have a Win98 Box, that I keep getting the msgsvr32 error, upon shutdown,
of the OS. I have looked all over the KB, and I cannot pinpoint the reason's
why.
I did a fresh Win98 install, and installed the programs I use on it,
one-by-one, rebooting. It wasn't until I activated Internet connection
sharing, that the error message again appeared.

Here is the system specs:

CPU PIII 733Mhz
Main Board Intel 810 C
Ram PC-100 128
HDD 40 Gb Seagate
CD Rom Asus 52x
FDD Sony
Modem 56k Robotics External
Lan Card. Intel
Sound VGA Built In


Anyone see anything here, that might cause this "msgsrv32" error, due to
internet connection sharing activation?


Thanks

What is the *exact* error message? MSGSVR32 is just a pawn in the issue.
It carries messages from one application to another. If the receiving
app doesn't like the message, it spits out an error. The *exact* wording
of the error is important, though you can leave out all the stuff that
starts with the word "Registers".

Is there no "Details" button on the second message?

You might want to check out the articles listed in my signature. Besides
the obvious possibility that you have some malware running in the
background, my Clean Boot article will introduce you to MSCONFIG. Set up
a Clean Boot (disable all background apps), then restart (just plow
through the errors.) then, after restarting, shut down again. Does the
error still happen? If not, try re-enabling the items in MSCONFIG,
testing as you go, to see if you can pinpoint which app is causing the
problem. (I'm assuming that you can repeat the error by shutting down
immediately after starting up. If this isn't the case, then it will be
something that you normally start manually *after* startup.)

One way to shorten the diagnostic is to re-enable half of the items in
MSCONFIG. Restart, then test. If the error recurs, then you know it's
caused by one of the items in the batch you re-enabled. If it still
doesn't repeat, then you know it's in the half that remained disabled.
Based upon that, re-enable all but half of the batch you now know
includes the culprit. Narrowing it down by halves takes a lot less time
than doing it one-by-one.

Hi,

Thanks Gary & PCR, but I never did use the internet, so there is no
malware(other than Alexa) on this PC, & no windows updates yet either...

I looked over both links, but nothing seems to fix it...Since I had nothing
to lose, I did another fresh install, it once again was fine until internet
connection sharing, was activated...Why? Does any of my hardware, seem to
cause this, it didn't use to???

Thanks

JA

Is this the Internet Connection Sharing gateway, or is it the client?

Have you installed *any* other software after initial installation? If
so, have you tried the MSCONFIG t-shooting procedure, anyway?

You did a fresh install. Who did the original install? Could be that
first one did something more, like taking the "supplement".

(a) Did you look in MSConfig to see whether "Disable fast shutdown" was
there?
(b) Was it there before your fresh install?
(The "supplement" makes it disappear.)
(c) Did you try it?

Hi PCR,

I did both installs. Formatting the HDD, before each. In MSconfig, the
disable fast shutdown, was there, prior, to the new "fresh" install, however,
unchecking the box, didn't help the error, from repeating. Could it be a
problem with internet conncetion sharing, & my hardware?

Thanks,

JA
