Msgsrv32 error message

I am attempting to install a new Buslink USB 2.0 CD-ROM
drive to a notebook running WIN98. After a couple of
false starts, Buslink finally emailed a driver that was
recognized upon installation, and the drive appears to be
installed successfully. However, if the drive is
connected upon start up, Windows freezes at the initial
Windows screen, and will not load. If I connect the drive
after the computer has completed booting up, the hourglass
appears and the computer freezes. Task manager displays
the message "Msgsrv32 - not responding." Disconnecting
the drive immediately restores the computer to operation.

Device manager does not show any conflicts.

The drive is fine: I successfully connected it to a
computer running XP. That computer immediately recognized
and installed the drive without problem.

Buslink has no fresh ideas on how to resolve an apparent
conflict. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

no usb 2.0 support for win 98,and apparently ,even when they did send a a 9x
driver..98 still fails to recogise your peripheral properly
contact them again and explain the problem.

USB support is greatly improved in Win98SE, you may have to update, the 98
driver shipped by buslink probably is a 98SE driver, everybody elses is.
