| 84335 | 2002-09-29 03:49:00 | I am running Windows 2000 and want to get into MSCONFIG in order to uncheck the Load Startup Group items, if I possibly can. However, when I Click Start>Run and then type in MSCONFIG the reply states that this file is not recognised. Is there any way I can get in to uncheck the items I've mentioned? | Outragious (2068) | ||
| 84336 | 2002-09-29 03:53:00 | If you post a copy of the error message you get when you type in msconfig, I might be able to get it running for you. If you feel comfortable modifying the registry, I could give you the appropriate keys to hack instead of using msconfig. G P |

| 84338 | 2002-09-29 10:46:00 | Many thanks for this suggestion. I tried it but was unsuccessful. When I go into Tools, I am offered 'Windows', which then presents a list of options, none of which includes System Configuration Utility. Any other thoughts? | Outragious (2068) | ||
| 84339 | 2002-09-29 10:50:00 | Many thanks for your reply. The error message reads : "Cannot find the file 'MSCONFIG' (or one of its components). Make sure that path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available." Do you have any other thoughts? (Incidentally, I wouldn't be confident enough to fiddle aroung in the Registry myself) |

| 84342 | 2002-09-29 11:13:00 | Many thanks for this information. All I want to actually accomplish is to uncheck the Load Startup Group items check box. I'm trying (unsuccessfully so far) to get a Roxio Sound Editor to work. When I load a Wav file into it for editing, I receive the message that : "The wave device is already in use". The tech guys at the Roxio support site recommended that the solution was to uncheck the Load Startup Group items (which I was supposed to access via MSCONFIG). Do you have any other thoughts as to how I achieve this? | Outragious (2068) | ||
| 84343 | 2002-09-29 11:19:00 | if you go here: www.mlin.net you will be able to download this nifty little program that works just as well as, if not better than, msconfig. This program is written for ALL versions of windows, including Win2k. |
