Msgsrv32 Errors
Many people are experiencing problems which they can trace back to Msgsrv32. But Msgsrv32 is not the cause. Some info on Msgsrv32:

Msgsrv32.exe is a program (Windows 32-bit message server) that performs several background functions necessary for Windows operation.

These functions include:

Load installable Windows drivers at startup and unload them at shutdown
Run the shell program (usually Explorer.exe) and re-run the shell if it fails to respond
Mediate Plug and Play messages among various parts of the operating system
Coordinate automatic responses to Setup programs. This includes checking whether a Setup program has improperly overwritten Windows files, and optionally restoring the Windows versions of those files
Display the initial logon dialog box if networking is enabled
Play the system startup and shutdown sounds
Usually these messages appear on shutdown. Here are some more common errors and their causes:
