Default Trying to get into msconfig

I started a thread last night kind of explaining the problem but it was
pushed to the 4th page, called
"Everything starts in Adobe"

The message was,
"I have no idea what iv done to cause this, but I can't get into any
programs.
When I try, Adobe opens and says that the application isn't supported. I
can't even open control panal. Can anyone tell me how to get everything back
to normal?"

Someone gave this help but going into "safe mode" and making changes won't
do any good because the changes I make will not take once I go back into
windows in normal start up.
I get this message.

"this action is only valid for products that are installed"

Someone at Comcast told me over the phone to diable eveyrhing in startup to
see if that would help but I think it may have made things worse.
I can't even get the starup items to come back through safe mode.

Also I get the message saying that I don't have the Authority or enough
privileges to make changes to my computer. Even though my account is
administrative


I hope all this rambling makes sense to you

oops.

Anyway, Do you know a way to get into msgonfig
without using "run" And without being in Safemode?

I need to get my start up items back. Iv tried msconfig in safemode but it
won't take after regular starup.
Also I tried the file folder restore that you gave me but it didn't work
either. : (

Default Trying to get into msconfig

Why do you think that you have to be in Safe Mode to start msconfig.exe?

MSCONFIG is the System Configuration Utility. MSCONFIG is msconfig.exe.

msconfig.exe lives here

C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

and here

C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries

You could navigate to one of those folders, locate msconfig.exe and double
click it to start.

But if it won't start from the Run box or from the command prompt, it
probably won't start from either of those folders.

When in command prompt, type the following...and hit enter after each
line...

**********************
cd\

dir msconfig.* /s

*********************
then go to the directory where you've found one of the msconfig's...

for instance, one of the locations might be
c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386

you would then need to type...

cd c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386

That will take you to the directory...and then you can enter

msconfig enter

At the stage yer at, you need to be in the directory where msconfig is
located in order to run it.

Good luck...let us know.


Have a nice one...

Why do you think that you have to be in Safe Mode to start =

msconfig.exe?

MSCONFIG is the System Configuration Utility. MSCONFIG is =

msconfig.exe.

msconfig.exe lives here

C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

and here

C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries

You could navigate to one of those folders, locate msconfig.exe and =

double
click it to start.

But if it won't start from the Run box or from the command prompt, it
probably won't start from either of those folders.

oops.

Anyway, Do you know a way to get into msgonfig
without using "run" And without being in Safemode?

I need to get my start up items back. Iv tried msconfig in safemode
but it won't take after regular starup.
Also I tried the file folder restore that you gave me but it didn't
work either. : (

Carolyn,

Visit he

Read the instructions.

Click on:
EXE File Association Fix (Restore default associations for File
Folders)

xp_exe_fix.zip is what you'll get.

I started a thread last night kind of explaining the problem but
it was pushed to the 4th page, called
"Everything starts in Adobe"

The message was,
"I have no idea what iv done to cause this, but I can't get into
any programs.
When I try, Adobe opens and says that the application isn't
supported. I can't even open control panal. Can anyone tell me =

how
to get everything back to normal?"

Someone gave this help but going into "safe mode" and making
changes won't do any good because the changes I make will not
take once I go back into windows in normal start up.
I get this message.

"this action is only valid for products that are installed"

Someone at Comcast told me over the phone to diable eveyrhing in
startup to see if that would help but I think it may have made
things worse.
I can't even get the starup items to come back through safe =

mode.

Also I get the message saying that I don't have the Authority or
enough privileges to make changes to my computer. Even though my
account is administrative


I hope all this rambling makes sense to you
