I just built a new PC with a 1.2GB Processor and 256MB of memory. It has a SB Live card, GForce Pro card, DVD card, DVD & CDRW, and a USB cable modem. I loaded WIN98SE on the pc and it locks up 60% of the time during boot up. I can go into safe mode. I tried to bootup with the bootlog.txt but it would not create a log. I also reloaded WIN98SE over top and it did not fix the problem. I removed all cards and installed them one at a time. Everything was fine. No error in Device Manager. Then aftera couple of shutdowns and reboots it start all over again.

Hi....
Msgsrv32.exe is a program (Windows 32-bit Message Server) that performs several background functions, including the following:
*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.
...And many many more.

Here is a lin which might help you fix the errors related to Msgsrv32.exe
