I fell that I am not typing it correctly!!!! please help

Start >> Run >> Regedit >> Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\MSCONFIG.EXE

On the right pane, Check if the path is correct:

One more thing doc!! could you help me get rid of "microsoft genuine advantage tool", it came with an update

everthing is running fine, I just want to remove this..... so that the nagging pop up stops, but i cannot see it
uninstall list and also it does not show up in MSCONFIG??

Pls help

I can't help you remove the genuine advantage tool.

Do you have a Windows XP CD?

OK Doc!!! and yes I have the windows XP CD

Hello.
Put your XP CD in, then go to Start > Run, type in cmd and press enter.

In the command prompt, type this in exactly as seen otherwise this won't work:
expand X:\i386\msconfig.ex_ C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\MSConfig.exe

Note: Replace X with your CD drive letter.
