msinfo32 cannot run

[Tao Lei]

Hello.

I want to run msinfo32.exe, but nothing appears and no error arises.

Files in directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo"
are
iefiles5.inf
ieinfo5.ocx
msinfo32.exe
oinfo11.ocx
oinfop11.exe
oinfop11.mof
oinfos11.dll

Thanks.

 

[db]

actually, the msinfo32
is a system file under
the windows/system32
folder.

perhaps, your windows
path is off.

so do a "search" for the
file above.

Select Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services and right
click on Event Log and select Properties. The StartUp
type should be Automatic.Is it?

Somehow, I'll bet "nothing appears" = "empty white box appears"

Reregister the msinfo32.dll as follows:

Click, Start, Run and in the box enter the following - with the
quotes:

regsvr32 "C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\msinfo.dll"

and press Enter. Wait for a success message.

Try msinfo32 in the Start, Run box or from your other menus now.

db - the executable is in both places on my system, but the DLLs are
where you indicated
