system information won't open

[Guest]

I went there and ran the reg file but still no system information. What
services are needed to run it?

Also why is everything set on trusted zone, no matter what web site I go on.
I have the settings in options the way there supposed to be, and I have
nothing listed for trusted site too. Thanks

Is the Windows XP SP2 update installed?

Is this a standalone or networked computer? Are you logged on as a
Limited User or as a User with full permissions?

It's windows xp with sp2 already in it. It's a standalone computer and I'm
logged on as user with full permissions.

When I click the system imformation link, it seems like it wants to open but
it won't. I tried the reg file from Kellys Korner and that didn't work
either.

No this isn't what I asked, I asked about the system information that is
under the start menu in accessories.........clicking on this does not work,
it will not open.

Check whether the problem is the shortcut or the file itself. The
msinfo32.exe will be found here "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\MSInfo\msinfo32.exe". Does it open if you double click
msinfo32.exe?

Your security issue might be related to the new 'lockdown' feature (or 'mark of the Web" feature)

Pictures do not appear as expected, or you receive an error message when you open an HTML file on a Windows XP Service Pack 2-b:

Noit doesn't open when I click on that either. I even repaired it from
Kelly's Korner had a reg file to fix it but it still didn't work.

John,
try this: go to "http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm" and look for
item 172 on this page. This is a batch file you can download and run as a
workaround for the MSINFO32 no-run issue.
