Okay so I have this COMPUTER which I salvaged in my room, it has Windows 98, 3 Gigs of Memory, 64 MB of RAM and a crappy video card. Generally a bad computer in general, but all I really want it for is MSN and Word.   So anyways, it was running okay, crashing occasionally and freezing if I ran too many programs etc... (btw, if ANYONE can reccommend a solution to the crashes and freezes that'd be great). So one day, I boot the old girl up and I get a error message saying: Msgrv32 followed by MSGRV32 caused a segment not present fault in module SETUPX.dll at 0002:00005701, this message is followed by a lot of computer code and script which I dont understand but will be more than happy to provide, if it helps you solve my problem.

This message pops up everytime I start up the computer now and always just before the windows starts (so I have the background, but no icons, no start menu etc..), and when I click on CLOSE or the X in the top right the computer like cancels start up. It just sits on that screen, and when I hit CTRL ALT DELETE, it shows no programs running. So it hasnd FROZEN per se, but its just not moving lol. Can anyone help me with this problem? I would really appreciate it, because I want to have a computer in my room and not deal with like trying to get a chance at the family unit.

Thank you very much for any help you can provide me.It sounds like a reinstall is what this machine needs. Do you still have your Windows and Word CD's?I tihnk so, but I dont know how to reinstall or anything   I'm a complete noobie at these things Make sure you have the CD's and we can go from there. That machine should be usable with Windows 98.Thanks, I have 2 CDs, one labelled Windows 98 OEM and the other just Windows 98 followed by a whack load of letters and numbers, like a password or code or something. I also have the startup floppy.Have a good read here:
