MSCONFIG & HELP & SUPPORT XP HOME

[ALLAN ARMSTRONG]

I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME. EVERY TIME I TRY TO RUN MSCONFIG OR HELP IN WINDOWS XP HOME, I GET THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGE. WINDOWS CANNOT FIND help.ctr.exe (or msconfig), MAKE SURE YOU HAVE TYPED THE NAME CORRECTLY AND TRY AGAIN http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

yeah, I'm having the same problems. anyone know how to fix this?

[Guest]

figured it out - real easy to fix.

open up notepad and cut/paste this exactly:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\MSCONFIG.EXE]@="C:\\WINDOWS\\PCHealth\\HelpCtr\\Binaries\\MSConfig.exe"

then save the file as msconfig.reg

when it has been saved, double click it and click OK after the prompt.
