What has happened to the XP Startup file config tool that you could pick
and
choose what is loaded at startup for trouble shooting purposes? It used
to
be in System Information under Acessories > System Tools but I can not
find
it now nor is there much information about it in the Help index.

I'm trying to fix a BSOD on my son's laptop that has to do with startup
not
finding Sony's tfsnfs.sys file and the DLA function. I can't uninstall it
in
Safe Mode (or anything else for that matter) and this is the only option I
can think of other than wiping the hard drive and starting over again.
There's a lot of information out there regarding BSOD and this file but
they
all say to uninstall this function and also deal with a different type of
CD
R/W - DVD drive. Usually a TEAC. If I could set the system to not load
this
function I might be able to restart the laptop normally.

System Information does have a Startup Program group in it but it won't
allow you to change anything.

Thanks,
Dana
