System Info in WinXP

[rky60]

Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Information will not open

Does anyone know why when i click on System Information nothing happens? Is it possibly i have something turned off somewhere? Is there another way of checking my IRQ?

Thanks for help

Try going to start/run and type in msinfo32.exe and see if it opens. If that doesnt work maybe you just need to reboot your computer and try again

Thx for the help But that wouldn't open it either. I ran a search for it and it is there, checked the properties and the location shows up as

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo

can't recall if this works in xp but does work in win9x.
look in device manager under properties of "computer" which will be right at the top of the list!
