    - MSGSRV 32 has caused an error in KRNL 386.EXE I am running a windows ME operating system. Recently I started receiving the following error message: MSGSRV 32 has caused an error in KRNL 386.EXE MSGSRV 32 will now close The computer then locks up. Does anyone have any advice what this error message is referring to, and how I might be able to get rid of it? Will re-installing window's ME take care of my problem? Will rolling back my system to a previous point in time, before I started receiving this error, fix the problem? Thanks for any advice you can give. Jim Tag: Registration Tag: 239182

    - Crazy Mouse Help! I have a Dell laptop with built in mouse pad and external logitech trachball and microsoft trackball. My pointer will disengage from all controls and "wander" accross the screen going where ever it desires. Sometimes hitting the "control" locator key will bring it back on line, other times it will just get stuck in a corner and will take a time before it becomes usable again. Either trackball will have the same problem and sometimes the mouse pad can be used even if the external mouse (mice?). Dell has been unable to understand a fix and microsoft has not been of help either. Any ideas besides "skipping" the laptop accross the lake?

    - W32Netsky I have the feeling of a drowning person. Here I thought to have everything under control, when I find out about this pesty 'W32Netsky Virus' in my system. I ran the 'McafeeAvertStinger' and it found a mess of that virus hidden in 'RESTORE\ARCHIVE\FS.CAB' files and the "Stinger" isn't taking care of them, even though I tried both, repair and delete in preferences. When I tried to delete the files myself (they are WinZip files), I was denied access, because 'the source file may be in use'. My question is: how do you delete those files? I know the FS numbers from the stinger's list. Or is there another utility which can take care of the problem? Only my C:\ drive's winzip archive files are infected, the rest is clean. How in the world could this have happened? Hopefully someone has the answers. Harry. Tag: Registration Tag: 239154

    - losing connection with DSL/Win Me I'm operating Windows Me. This morning DSL through SBC Yahoo was activated. To test transfer rate compared to dialup, I went to Quicktime.com to download a trailer. 5-15 seconds (varies) into it, it cuts off, and IE (5.5) says "Could not download <file> from <server>" and "connection to web page's server was lost." I've also noticed a related phenomenon when I browse. Sometimes the page loads fully, sometimes it loads but without all the graphics, and sometimes it says "page not found". Refreshing generally gets me the whole page. If I go back through the old phone dialup, I don't get this error. I can download anything (albeit it takes longer). This only happens when connected through DSL. A similar error occurs when I try it through Netscape. But another machine connected to the same (2wire) portal, but running Windows 98, has no trouble downloading the trailer. I've talked to about half a dozen SBC or 2wire techs. They all read their scripts and have me change this and that under Internet Options, but nothing changes. For what it's worth, I can send and receive Outlook mail with no problems. This appears to be something above the browser level since IE and Netscape can't download the trailer. Tag: Registration Tag: 239145

    - thnx silj and jack thnx to both. I followed up on your suggestions to no avail. But I did find a solution. I went back to hp's recovery cd's and reinstalled mmkeyboard. Problem solved. What happened was that I had went to a site re start up programs and was adamantly told to DELETE osd.exe. It said that it wasn't used for anything and could cause problems. Osd.exe is the application that runs on screen messages for netropa. Now osd is back where it was and everything works fine. Words of advice to anyone who might read this thread: Do not, I mean DO NOT delete anything until your sure it won't cause problems. Change the extensions to 'old' or quarantine. If your system seems to be working okay, then delete. No disrespect to either of you. I've gotten valuable advice from you Silj. Thanks for your dedication.

    - Can't See Content of Windows - Help! My ME system is working fine except for one major problem: I cannot see the content of windows. For instance, when I click on explore, the contents of My Documents are not shown. All I see is that there are, say, 20 items in folder (as reported on the lower bar/pane of the window). The same is true for surfing the net. Using explorer, I can see a sight load on the bar, but not see the actual contents of the site - all I get is a blank page. Note, that I can surf successfully using Netscape. After getting kernel32.dll errors on closing Explorer, I decided to delete Explorer updates using Add/Remove. Upon reboot, the above problems started - blank windows. I've checked for all the latest viruses, and run the latest version of CWShredder. Again, I'm still encountering the problem. I'd love to restore, but I cannot see the add/remove programs icon because everything is invisible. How can I restore the missing component or solve the problem without reformatting?

Why even reinstall the OS ? Just reformat the disk and give the media to
the new owner if it's included in the sale.
