msconfig not working ?
 
im preforming some maintenance on my pc, i just started and i wanted to use the 'msconfig' command, but windows is telling me that 'msconfig cannot be found' im using windows xp pro.

so i need some help in determining what is causing this.

any ideas ?

Have you tried this?

Fire up Windows Explorer then point at C: and use Tools / Find / msconfig.exe. If it can't then you haven't got it!

there was no tools option, a windows search found it, but how do i link it to the command from the 'run' box ?

It needs to be in your 'path'. It's probably easiest to create a shortcut to it in your Windows directory.

Run it from the Run command (Windows Key + R)
