Please.... Re: XP-Pro and msconfig/boot.ini

[Stuff]

Please...the problem is both msconfig AND boot.ini. (msconfig does not come
up, and boot.ini is glitched) I am under the impression a new msconfig file
from the Windows CD is needed> (???)

Would you please tell me the CMD command to re-install msconfig.com from
START > RUN? I had to do this once before, but I do not remember that
command now.

thanX!

You don't need to reinstall MSCONFIG. You need to post the contents of your
BOOT.INI with more information on your setup, and we'll tell you how to
correct it. You may also want to locate MSCONFIG.EXE and make a copy of it,
naming it MSCONFIG1.EXE If the copy runs, then you have a virus, not a
corrupt MSCONFIG.
