Clint, Msinfo is an executable file so it doesn't need anything to open it. Far as I know the program generates the Info report when executed. Maybe your copy of Msinfo is corrupted. If you delete it from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft\Msinfo a back up is restored automatically. My thought is that this will restore a good copy and it should work. Here is a MD5 hash of my copy of Msinfo.exe compare one generated on your version to this hash if after the restore you still have problems. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo\msinfo32.exe 090D5891041E35E18C77F664581C0BD6
