I believe I had this same problem about six weeks ago. In my case, I was
finally able to determine that the symptoms were being caused by the
operating system (Windows 95) trying to create a sound. It seems that when
I installed the latest sound driver from IBM for my TP750, the installation
must not have completed correctly the first time (although I didn't notice
anything abnormal at the time). Thereafter, when the system tried to make a
sound it would crash msgsrv32. I finally reinstalled the sound drivers and
everything has worked perfectly ever since.
Good luck!

Howdy-
I did a quick stroll through the FAQ and archives for this list but
didn't see anything applicable to my particular problem (IBM has also
not been useful). If someone on this list could take a shot, I'd
really appreciate it.
Whenever I attempt to do a suspend (either Fn or cover-close) on my
machine, it hangs upon wake until given the vulcan nerve pinch. When
I do do ctrl-alt-del, I am told that msgsrv32 is not responding and
only by forcing that task to end do I get control back on the
machine. Not having msgsrv32 running on the machine at that point
seems to cause some amount of flakiness.
Here's the specs on the machine in question:
- 701C 16M ram, 720M disk
- Win95 upgraded from installed 3.11 as per IBM's setup disk
- latest bios (3o)
- Win95 set to APM (have tried it with 1.0 compat to no avail), when I
set it to Standard PM this problem does not seem to occur, but the
machine wakes up with its clock set to the time of suspend
- No PCMCIA cards in it at the time (though the machine occaisionally
sees an Adaptec SCSI controller and a Xircom ethernet card)
Any guesses anyone? Thanks in advance!
Peace,
