Guest Willard Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Re: msinfo32.exe not working Thanks for the information.. I followed instructions but when I tried to repair, I received a blue Stop 0000263 Drive En.... not found.. and the computer locks up.. On reboot the same blue stop and lock up occurs.. I had to copy my backup drive, but that has the same msinfo32.exe error; so I will probably have to run a complete new install in order to get the msinfo32.exe to run correctly..

Guest Dave Patrick Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Re: msinfo32.exe not working That's unfortunate. Try a 'Safe Mode' boot. Maybe this one helps. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244617/en-us -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.

Guest Willard Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Re: msinfo32.exe not working Tried the 2000 Update and got a stop error (driver entry point not found) with a computer lockup.. Then I tried the 2000 Repair and got exactly the same stop error and computer lockup.. I had to Ghost (disk to disk) from my week old external backup drive, which had the same msinfo32.exe error, so I'm now back to square one; crippled but working??.
