Hi Rick,
Curious, indeed. My machine must be possessed. I am currently running XP
Pro. I've had this problem with both XP Home & Pro installed on this
machine.
If it wasn't a common problem, Kelly wouldn't have the msinfo_force_run.bat
file available. ;-)
I also have other XP problems that exist(ed) in both Home and Pro on this
same machine. I have long ago given up on any fixes. I just swear a
little, ignore them and keep on trucking. 8-)
