msgsrv32 error, when activating Internet connection sharing

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

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".

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

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?

I have no experience with Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), but it
certainly sounds like the culprit, if the problem wasn't there until it
was activated. Does deactivating it make the problem disappear? Then...

(1) Play with ICS settings.
(2) Look for an article about shutdown problems related to ICS.
(3) Try the supplement?
(It's installed in my machine, but I'm not sure who did it-- me or
Compaq?)

| 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,
