Hey Guys,

The problem for me is that i get like 8 programs on my startup, and i know about 
the "run...msconfig" thing but when i try to do that i get an error message:
"Windows cannot find 'msconfig'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try 
again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."

So I get this error message which disallows me from making any changes in my startup. 
It was ok on my older computer. I am not exactly sure what happened with this computer 
but any help would be much appreciated.

I also get a similar error message when I try to start the "Help and Support" option 
in the Start menu.

Please help...my computer is the Acer Aspire RC500, if this problem has anything 
to do with it...

Win XP home ed.
512 MB RAM
80 GB HDD
16 bit sound blaster
64 MB nvidia geforce vid card

THanks guys...
