Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Thanks for your reply, Ramesh, and the KB link.

I cannot look at my PC just now (I need to check it later), but if I need to
repair Windows XP using the installation disk, does it go over any of my
exisiting files (Word docs, applications, etc?

Thanks again.

Hello

I am writing about my System Information utility which I don't seem to be
able to use properly.

If I type in msconfig32.exe in 'Run', and try to export my information, I
get this:
