MSN 7 Messenger crashes when loading, GPF error? Can anyone help me?

I kept getting messages to upgrade from MSN 6 to 7. A few days ago I decided
to finally upgrade. MSN will not load now. As it is loading I get,


MSNMSGR caused a general protection fault
in module MACXW4.DRV at 000a:000000cd.

I am not a computer guy, I have no idea what this means and how to fix it.

I am running '98 with a 1700 MHz AMD and 512 meg of RAM.

Can someone please help?

Thanks,

David.
