I think it's a registry error. I looked where another forum "told me" to look, and I had different entries.

Have 2 user accounts on the machine. Had email issues with the ISP and got resovled/ I could open Outlook Express from my user account, but then my wife's user account wouldn't open Outlook Express at all. Thought I would try in Safe Mode to see if maybe some other program was interfering. NOTE: I did no harware or software change. Went to msconfig, and clicked on Safeboot.

I boot from C: I can run msconfig. If I boot from F:, I cannot run msconfig
without first removing the cable from the c: HD and rebooting. If I run
sysedit while in the f: drive, it shows autoexec.bat and config.sys from the
c: drive and win.ini from the f: drive. How can I change the autoexec.bat to
run from the f: drive on boot up
I goto run msconfig, it acts like it's loading, but the window never opens. When I check the Task Manager, msconfig.exe is in the processor list. So, why won't the window show itself

pc takes for ever to get started up. Through msconfig, my start up registry is loaded down!!! Maybe that is why when it finally does come up when I click on MS wword or Excell, it takes for ever for them to load
View 14 Replies View RelatedTitle says it all. Not sure when it actually disappeared. Noticed it while studying for A+ exam today. Here is what I have tried that hasn't worked:
(1) Missing BOOT.INI file. It is there.
(2) Registry corruption. Nope. The entry doesn't appear in the expected location.
(3) Improper permissions set on BOOT.INI. Nope. I can open it. Plus there is no Security tab in the Properties window, which raises another eyebrow of "huh?"
Boot.Ini tab missing from System Configuration Utility when log into msconfig.
