msgsrv32 error

[loutheman]

pc locks up at Novell login screen with following message: "msgsrv32 caused an exception 10H in module Devcon32.dll at 0167:100127dc." PC locks up. Have to hit the reset button and boot into safe mode. Disabled the sound card per google suggestions. Booted up okay. Question is this: Why, when I unplug the network cable, does it boot up okay with the sound card enabled? (we do run scripts from our network).

Then obviously communications is part of the problem. Before you rip apart your communications and start reinstalling components, boot to safe mode. Run MSCONFIG. Go to the startup tab, uncheck everything except systray (this is just for a test, you can reenable whatever you like later), and hit OK. Reboot. If it works, great, run MSCONFIG and check the components one at a time, and reboot after each. Only enable what you really need, and if the problem starts again, then you'll know which process is causing the issue. If this doesn't work, post back.

These error messages can occur if your computer uses a sound card based on the C-Media CMI8330 sound chip.
This sound chip is used as the basis for several sound cards.
C-Media Electronics, Inc., does not manufacture sound cards, but the CMI8330 sound chip upon which certain sound cards are based.
Contact the manufacturer of your sound card to obtain an updated driver.

If you are unable to contact the manufacturer of the your sound card, you can try the C-Media Windows 98 sound card driver version 4.10.00.0152 or later available on the
