When selecting Start/accessories/system tools/system information I reached a screen which listed system hardware, software, system conflicts, & other info. I recently installed messenger 7, which resulted in a laundry list of difficulties. I have just realized that added to that list is the fack that when I follow the above path I know get the help & support page. How do I get the system information page back.

No joy. Downloaded and ran .reg file and shutdown and restarted. System info still goes to help and support.

No Joy. Run msinfo32.exe returned me to help & support.

Hi George,

Start - Run - msinfo32.exe
 
Ok! Extracted "index.dat" to Windows\PChealth\HelpCtr\OfflineCache and system info took me to system information. With the number of difficulties after installing MSN 7 and reinstalling several I can know count on one finger the number of issues resolved.

Thanks (a whole bunch)
The index.dat file may be missing from >>
C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\OfflineCache
or
%windir%\PCHealth\HelpCtr\OfflineCache if Windows is not on C:\

First. Set Hidden files and folders to display.

Start | Settings | Control Panel | Folder Options | View tab
Check:
Display the contents of system folders
Show hidden files and folders
UNCheck:
Hide protected operating system files
Apply | OK

[[Hidden files and folders will appear dimmed to indicate they are not
typical items.]]

Second. Paste this in the Start | Run box...

%windir%\PCHealth\HelpCtr\OfflineCache

Click OK.

Look for a file called index.dat. Is one there?

If not, save the attached zip file and unzip it to ...

%windir%\PCHealth\HelpCtr\OfflineCache

The zip file contains the appropriate index.dat file.
