Make sure the paths are right in the registry Go to HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSInfo and in the right hand pane, make sure the path is correct for the location of your msinfo32.exe ie C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo\msinfo32.exe Then make sure msinfo32.exe is listed as an App Path key here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\msimn.exe and make sure the path stated in the right hand pane is correct there too.
Also did you try replacing msinfo32.exe? Could be corrupt too. If the reg paths are correct, try running SFC from the Run box SFC /SCANNOW good luck vic http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WinTips-Tricks/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Burke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Works" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, February 16, 2003 10:46 PM Subject: PCWorks: system information window > hi..... i'm using windows xp home edition.....earlier today i tried to access my "system information" window through the start menu but it refused to open.... i then went to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo and clicked the executable file "msinfo32.exe" and again it wouldn't open .....i also tried the "run" command... i restarted the computer but this didn't resolve the problem ....i do know that i could access the system info at an earlier time.... has anyone experienced this problem and\or know how to fix the problem .... i might add that all other items in the start\accessories\system tools folder work fine....i also learned that if you delete or move the msinfo32.exe file it will recreate itself but this didn't resolve the problem.......thanks....
