Are you entering the word 'msconfig' (note the spelling as yours seems to differ) into the 'run' dialog box?

aileenynwa,

what do you mean going back to factory settings?
what are the intentions behind this???

Returning to factory settings usually has two possible meanings (1) a clean install of everything on the machine - and anything you've loaded yourself will be lost or (2) a restoration of Windows in which case this is a 'repair' rather than a 'restore' and all your original programs will be unaffected. If your 'resote' menu doesn't offer the 'repair' facility you should see a warning that you will lose everything on the machine when you press the 'go' button - so beware!

Unless you have a particular fondness for a program you have installed then a return to factory settings is the quickest and easiest way to (1) get rid of viruses and (2) get the machine back to its optimum performance. You will have to re-install the AV program (and any others you rely on).

Dave & Dave,
Perhaps this may explain Aileen's reason for a revert to factory settings:

I wrote a post out there and lost it again

dave.m i am still working on that link you gave me about (mse) the trouble i have is taking it all in, as i click on other links then i just confuse myself.

I always think i am going to do the wrong thing .

So when i get my printer set up i will just have another 1000 questions about that

Win~o thank's for your link too.

Really sorry people just dont give up on me please!
