*****************************************************************************

“While Microsoft’s MSCONFIG is a good program that helps diagnose system configuration issues; you must be extremely careful when using the System Configuration Utility (msconfig.exe) on Windows XP.

Please read Microsoft’s MSCONFIG Troubleshooting Guide first — you can easily inadvertently disable program/services that may be necessary to boot your computer! If possible, try to use Microsoft’s Service Management Console (services.msc) which prevents you from doing this! “
