I have a Compaq Presario 5600i desktop running Windows 98 Second Edition. On too many occasions my PC freezes up when it is going through it boot up. To give you an idea of when it stops, I never get to the point were my desktop is populated with icons or hear my system play the sound file for the "Start Windows" event. When I do a Ctrl-Alt-Del, the only item in the box is "Msgsrv32 (not responding)" The only solution is to turn off and then turn the PC on again. Eventually, my PC completes its boots up. I do not want to reinstall Windows 98, because I lost the CD. Please tell me how I can make my PC boot up with near 100% reliability. If I have to run a utility that you have written, I will need source code so I can compile and run the executable. Here is some technical information you may find useful The file information for MSGSRV32 is MSGSRV32 11,920 bytes 4/23/99 10:22PM According to MSConfig's Startup tab, the following programs were checked: IntelProcNumUtility "C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel PSNCU\[login to view URL]" /nosplash OEMCLEANUP C:\WINDOWS\[login to view URL] ScanRegistry c:\windows\[login to view URL] \autorun TaskMonitor c:\windows\[login to view URL] SystemTray [login to view URL] AtiCwd32 [login to view URL] AtiKey [login to view URL] SonicA3DControl C:\Program Files\Sonic Impact A3D\[login to view URL] EACLEAN C:\Program Files\Compaq\Easy Access Button Suport\[login to view URL] /NORESTART CPQEASYACC C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMPAQ\EASY ACCESS BUTTON SUPPORT\[login to view URL] SXGDSENU [login to view URL] EM_EXEC c:\mouse\system\[login to view URL] Microsoft WebServer C:\Program Files\WebSvr\System\svctrl /init LoadPowerProfile [login to view URL] [login to view URL],LoadCurrentPwrScheme CritialUpdate c:\windows\SYSTEM\[login to view URL] -startup dlder C:\WINDOWS\explorer\[login to view URL] TkBellExe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\[login to view URL] -osboot HC Reminder [login to view URL] ConfigServices Microsoft WebServer C:\Program Files\WebSvr\System\inetsw95 -w3svc LoadPowerProfile [login to view URL] [login to view URL],LoadcurrentPwrScheme SchedulingAgent [login to view URL] Internet Explorer Internet [login to view URL] America Online 7.0 C:\PROGRA~1\AMERIC~3.0\[login to view URL] Iomega Startup Options C:\PROGRA~1\TOOLS_95\[login to view URL] Iomega Watch C:\PROGRA~1\TOOLS_95\[login to view URL] Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar C:\PROGRa~1\MICROS~5\OFFICE\[login to view URL] Microsoft Outlook C:\PROGRa~1\MICROS~5\OFFICE\OUTLOOK\[login to view URL] Zip Disk Icons C:\PROGRA~1\TOOLS_95\[login to view URL] Note that there are tow identical LoadPowerProfile rows.
