How can i get into msconfig?

I did something to my comp that broke it and i think it was in msconfig. I posted about it before at
http://forums.techguy.org/t115016/s.html

Now the problem is when i go to "run" and type in "msconfig" it says it can't find "Msconfig". Is there another way to get to it or something...please help.

 

If you are running an other than WinXp, go to DOS (start/programs/accessories/MS Dos prompt), type msconfig <, see whats happen, To get out of dos, type "exit" (no the " ")
Good Luck!

Well, Windows 2000 doesn't have MSCONFIG, so it would be helpful to know what O/S you're running. There are lots of 3rd party solutions, even TweakUI from Microsoft.

 

Oh i thought i said... Its windows xp upgraded from windows me.

Its thecommand prompt and it said it was a unrecognized command or something.

 

Try going to Start > Run and type in "sfc /scannow" without the quotes. Click OK, you may need your Win XP cd. This should fix any files that are corupt or damaged.
Del

 

And what can i do if that doesn't work?

 

The one from XP works fine in Windows2000. You can download it at

If it doesn't work, let us know and we try something else. Such is the nature of the BEAST.

 

The one from ME won't work, even when upgrading. It is an entirely different program. The one from XP works just fine. Have used it on quite a few workstations and servers.

 

Del, the scan asked for XP professional cd and i have home edition. The link to msconfig was what i needed, i enabled all the services and now i have my sound back. Thanks a lot.

 

Glad the link from site is what you needed and thanks for letting me know.

 

Actually now i need drivers for the printer. It never came with drivers because it said the OS should have it. The printer is a HP deskjet 3320.

 

Have you checked on HP's site. Usually they are pretty good with making drivers easily available.
