On certain programs that are running on win 98 or ME, a
certain error message pops up at varoius times. It either
says, "<name of program>" caused an error at Msgrv32. What
does this mean?

My standard blurb should answer you: Msgsrv32.exe relays instructions from
one part of your PC to another and it is not the problem. It is reported as
"not responding" because another program either sent an invalid instruction
or it failed to respond to an instruction it received or it incorrectly
interpreted it.

Figuring out which program is at fault takes some work. This article tells
how to perform clean-boot troubleshooting:

Using MSconfig.exe, general tab, selective startup, you can narrow the
search for the errant program by narrowing the focus of where the problem
program is being started. Once you pinpoint the location, you can remove all
programs being started there and add them back one at a time until the error
notice reappears.
