Recently, my user's PC always received error message as below:
Msgsrv32-This program has performed illegal operation and will be shut down.
Pls advise.
Thanks

I copied this information from 2 sites.

Msgsrv32 errors can be caused by several things, but without more information I can't be specific on what to try. If it happens while the computer is idle, try disabling your power management features (Control Panel, Power Management). Also, a conflict with video drivers can cause problems. You can disable the hardware acceleration properties of your video adapter (Control Panel, System, Performance). Try different settings from Full to None.
If you frequently receive Invalid Page Fault in Kernel32.dll Errors, from different drivers (Explorer, Guide.exe, Msgsrv32, Commgr32, Mprexe and others), it is possible that your password list file is damaged. Try re-creating your password list file:1.In Windows Explorer select your \Windows folder
2.Press F3. This will bring up the Find: All Files window
3.In the Named: box type *.pwl
4.Click Find Now
5.When a list of found files is displayed, delete them all
6.Close the Find window and restart Windows
