Question : mqsvc.exe has generated errors - message at startup - what does it mean and why etc.?

On boot-up with Win2k SP4, after the splash screen, and before most anything loads up, I get the message:

"mqsvc.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.  You will need to restart the program.  An error log is being created."  

I click OK, and the boot-up continues normally, no problems.

Nothing else seems to be a problem, and I can't seem to pinpoint what may be causing this.  Doesn't happen on simple logoff/login, but only on bootup/restart.  Only found 3 info links on MS's database about this Microsoft Message Queue service file that normally gets loaded and stays active as a process file that stays running, but the MS database doesn't have anything specifically relevant to this.  (I checked on another Win2kSP-4 machine that's running fine at home here, and this process loads normally, and stays on - can't quite figure out what it does.)

I've done a search on the C-drive for a *.log file to find out what the error is - of the 31 log files that had been written to today over the course of half a dozen or so boot-ups, several log files showed currently in use (ntuser.dat.LOG, UsrClass.dat.LOG, default.LOG, SAM.LOG, SECURITY.LOG, software.LOG, , so I couldn't read them.  Of the other 25 or so log files, only one showed up anything suspicious: the drwtsn32.log file (Dr. Watson?, I presume?), with the following contents:

"Application exception occurred:

Ok, I know most of the file contents don't help much, but I've run out of leads.  Any help will be most appreciated.  

I can't seem to find a "DrWatson" program running, that would generate this log file, and checking the administrative event viewer log, I read a service control manager originated event described as "The O&O Defrag 2000 service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the path specified."  I don't have that defragmentation program loaded (don't see it available to uninstall anymore, anyway).  And the next event from "server" is "The value named IRPStackSize in the server's Registry key LanmanServer\Parameters was invalid.  The value was ignored, and processing continued."

Not sure if these only two error events have a connection or not (No other error events, just warnings about overloaded drives, etc.)

Also, I did the usual virus check of everything on the C-drive, spy-bot, adaware, registry-cleaning, etc., and nothing showed up.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.


Answer : mqsvc.exe has generated errors - message at startup - what does it mean and why etc.?
