SUMMARY
This article describes how to troubleshoot configuration errors in Microsoft Windows XP by using the System Configuration Utility (Msconfig.exe).

MORE INFORMATION
The System Configuration Utility automates the routine troubleshooting steps that Microsoft Technical Support engineers use when they diagnose system configuration issues. When you use this tool to modify the system configuration, you can select check boxes to eliminate issues that do not pertain to your configuration. This process reduces the risk of typing errors that can occur if you use a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad. You must be logged on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group in order to use the System Configuration Utility.

To start the System Configuration Utility, click Start , and then click Run . Type msconfig in the Open box, and then click OK .

When you use Msconfig.exe, you can easily reset or change the configuration settings in Windows to include preferences for the following files and settings:

The System.ini file

The Win.ini file

The Boot.ini file

Programs that are set to load during Startup (these programs are specified in the Startup folder and in the registry)

Environment settings

International settings

To prevent any of these items from loading when you restart the computer, use either of the following methods:
Click the General tab, and then click Diagnostic Startup - load basic devices and services only . When you use this option, device drivers and software are loaded interactively when you restart the computer.

-or-

Click the General tab, and then click Selective Startup . You can select the options that you do not want to load when you restart the computer. The following options are listed:

Process SYSTEM.INI File
Process WIN.INI File
Load System Services
Load Startup Items
Use Original BOOT.INI
Use Modified BOOT.INI

The following settings apply to the options listed above:

If the check box is selected, the configuration file is processed when you restart the computer.

If the check box is not selected, the configuration file is not processed when you restart the computer.

If the check box is selected but appears dimmed and is unavailable, then some items are still loading from that configuration file when you restart the computer.

If the check box is not selected, but appears dimmed and is unavailable, the configuration file is not present on the computer.

NOTE : You cannot clear the Use Original BOOT.INI option.
Before you begin a troubleshooting session, you can use the System Configuration Utility to initiate a System Restore operation. To do this, click the General tab, and then click Launch System Restore . You can then create a restore point in which you can use to restore your computer to a previous state.

To prevent individual items or lines of a specific configuration file from loading when you restart your computer, click the tab for that particular configuration file (for example, SYSTEM.INI , WIN.INI , BOOT.INI ), and then click to clear the check box for the individual line or item that you do not want to load. Check boxes that appear dimmed and are unavailable in the SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI tabs indicate that the lines are temporarily removed by the System Configuration Utility.
To change the currently active line or item, click a different line or item, or click Move Up or Move Down to move between items.

To create a new entry in any of the configuration files, click New .

To edit a line that is currently selected, click the Edit .

NOTE : When you click to clear a check box for an item or a line, the Selective Startup option (in the General tab) is automatically selected.

After you make the selections that you want, click OK , and then restart the computer when you are prompted to initiate the changes.
To extract individual Windows files directly from the cabinet files, click the General tab, and then click Expand File .

To ensure that all the configuration files and all the items that are listed in those files load when you restart your computer, click the General tab, and then click Normal startup .
