MsInfo32 can be accessed by the Start menu.
Select: Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information

Faud – thank you for your reply but as I tried to explain when I follow what you wrote – it take me to a HP help page that has nothing to do with msinfo32 – in other words it doesn’t respond to that command. But, again, thanks for trying to help.

At Start Menu, you just have to click on “run”, type in “msinfo32″ and press enter to get it running (without the quotes). Good luck.

I know I have a corrupt winsock 2 file and the netsh winsock reset command fixes this an allows me to get on the netbut it doesn’t hold. If I leave the net and go back to my desktop to do something, then try to get back on the net, I have to enter the command again and reboot my computer. I went to try to fix you outlined but immediately ran into problems. When I entered the msinfo32 command – I receive a error message that it didn’t exist. When I did a search for msinfo32 it pulled up six different foldes filled with all kinds of files that I had no idea what were – nothing looked like the ten item list. I have a HP laptop, series 8000 (about 2-1/2 yrs old) running XP Media Home Edition and Service Pack2. This is extremely frustrating and I would appreciate any comments you could make on how to resolve this situation. I am willing to try the fix you listed but can’t if I cannot even get into msinfo32??????

how do i fix this particular issue with Windows Vista. I’ve already tried to release and renewed my IP address and I get this error message that ill have to write down next time I try it ( i’ve been batteling my notebook a while) still cannot get online. I dont get a particular error message I just get a WEB CANNOT BE DISPLAYED. I know it is not my routers IP because I’ve already reset this, also I can get online on my XBOX 360. I have ran a system restore and I also did a system recovery, and pinged all my IP’s and everything comes back good. I sent it in to HP and they sent it back the same. Is there anything else I can do or do I have a non-funtional notebook?
