msgsrv32.exe won't shut down
I have lately found that when trying to shut down,
generally after having been on the internet, that will get a message that msgsrv32.exe has not finished shutting down - so I click on wait - and wait and wait. Task Manager shows that this program is not responding. So I try again. Same thing happens. This ends up with me having to press the reboot button on my machine and having to go through scandisk. When I finally get back to the desktop, I can then exit windows. I have no idea what this progam does. Using SFC I have tried reinstalling it from my original disc - the problem just recurs. Can anyone help me? John Mitchell, riverton, Perth, Western Australia I am getting really fed up with this annoyance. Regards. |

msgsrv32.exe won't shut down
Click StartRun, type MSCONFIG and click OK.
On the General tab, click the Advanced button. Click to put a check mark in the box for "Disable fast shutdown", and click OK. Click OK to close Msconfig, and restart the computer. If that does not help, or if the box was already checked or wasn't there, go he Windows Shutdown Troubleshooter: http://aumha.org/win4/a/shutdown.htm -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "John Mitchell" wrote in message ...
