System Information

Unable to raise 'System Information' tried everything except the right thing?

 

Go to Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools. Right click on System Information\Properties. In the Target box right after \msinfo32.exe add "%1 "(with quotation marks) so it looks like this \msinfo32.exe "%1 then click Apply and OK.

 

Sorry Steve R Jones, I will get back to you after I have dealt with lj50's response.
To lj50, tried the solution you offered and got a window as follows 'The name C:\ programme files\Common files\microsoft shared\MS info\msinfo32.exe%1 in the target box is not valid, make sure the path and file name are correct' I tried tagging "%1,and I tried "%1 ", and got the same results.

 

Code:

 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo\msinfo32.exe" /categories +all

Put that in your target window. Exactly as shown, quotes, spaces, all.

Copy/paste is easiest.

 

If the above doesn't work, try the fix from Kelly Theriot. It's a registry file so just download and double click on it and allow it to merge data into the registry.

MSinfoRestore

 

There is a space between msinfo32.exe and "%1 "

 

To lj50, thanks for response, the error detail I have shown is exactly how it came up in the error window, I took it down in detail. I will try again as you described and get back.
To surferdude2, thanks for response get back to you after I have re-tried lj50's .
