I'd check the event log and or Device Manager for clues.

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..

That's unfortunate. Try a 'Safe Mode' boot. Maybe this one helps.

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??.
