SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Windows XP, the Microsoft Message Queuing service does not come online if corrupted message files exist in the Message Queuing storage directory. An event log message is raised that identifies the corrupted file. You must manually remove the corrupted file before the service can start successfully.



CAUSE
When Message Queuing deletes a recoverable message, it does not verify that the delete flag is persistent before returning the receive call. Therefore, these messages may not return after a power failure, or the message file may become corrupted.
