MSGSRV32

[Musicman6425]

Here is an easy one,
Starting my friends computer, I revieve a lot of error messages. One is the Shell32 could not start. Antoher is MSGSRV32 GP in YDSXG.DRV. And then, after a while, Explorer GP in Explorer.exe. I found that the DRV is for the Yamaha sound card. Unfortunately, I can't even get into safe mode. Tried to go to "Step by step" command and load only essentials, no good. I even have pulled the sound card. Not letting me into normal mode or safe. Any ideas?

I have seen those kind of errors-usually on oc'ed systems. If your friends system is overclocked try resetting it to defaults. Good luck, I know how frustrating it can be.

the system is not overclocked....nothing has changed since we used it yesterday. We are using Win98 1st Eddition.

You could try to access it with a 98 bootdisk.After it boots run scanreg at the command prompt. If this does not help you atleast should have access to the drive to save data or reinstall corupted files. Luck.

I tried the scanreg, but no go....still won't let me in...

boot with th win98 bootdisk and do a scanreg /restore

if that doesnt work, maybe try here-
