Re: msinfo hangs

I find one at
C:\WINDOWS\inf\msinfo32.inf

set your search to find hidden files, or the system to show them. (folder
options in control panel)

Dear Mark:

Thanks for the speedy response. Please clarify which .inf file. I have
MSInfo32.inf on my hard drive (one is in my c:I386 folde) or is it an
MSinfo.inf that I'd have to find on my Media Center reinstallation disk?
I
can generate a .nfo file if I use switches, but it takes over 15 minutes
and
I don't think that's normal.

In XP you can just rightclick the INF file, and click "Install"

Mark: You say "insert your Microsoft Windows 98...disk." Isn't this
an
XP
forum? I have this issue also where MSINFO32 hangs and doesn't seem to
generate a complete .nfo file, although everything in the program
itself
seems fine and complete. Does this same process work with an XP Media
Center
reinstallation disk?

THANKS in advance.
