Help: msmsgs.exe - Application Error

[Bill & Debbie]

When I bring up my system I get this message:

msmsgs.exe - Application Error
The instruction at xxxxx referenced memory at xxxxx. The memory could not
be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program.

After I click on OK, everything seems to run with no problems. It only
occurs right after starting the system and occurs only once.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Bill

Thanks for your help. I don't use Windows Messenger. Would it be OK to
remove it?

Thanks again for your help,
Bill

Hi ssg,
I just decided to replace Windows Messenger instead of trying to prevent it
from running. After replacing it, I'm still getting the same message when I
power up my system.

Thanks in advance for any more help with this problem.
