MSINFO32.exe Now Displays Help and Support Window

[DJ]

I'm unable to figure this one out. When I go to the Run
command and type in msinfo32, then hit Enter, I get the
Help and Support system. I no longer can bring up the
normal msinfo32.exe stuff. I've tried running the
command several ways, including double-clicking on the
msinfo32.exe file itself.

Can anyone help me?

- Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. Looks like a great site.
Unfortunately, it didn't fix my problem. I still get the
Help and Support window even after applying the registry
fix. :-(

Hi

From Start>Run type the following:

msinfo32 /categories +all -loadedmodules

Thanks for all your help, Will. I really appreciate it.

I was able to extract that line from a batch file and try
it in the Run command. It works, but I am so very
curious what has caused this behavior - and if there's
any way to return msinfo32.exe's behavior to normal,
rather than having to type that extended command. PC's
are the ultimate Rubick's Cube, aren't they?

Thanks again.
