I can't access the System Information via the Windows XP Help And Support Center or via the System Information tool that's located on the Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools menu(nothing happens when I click with the mouse). What's wrong & how do I fix this problem?

Your computer is probably running low of available resources.

I ran it while something else was running and it wouldn't come up for me. When the hdd activitity finished, then I started it again and it popped right up.

Right click on My Computer --> Properties --> Advanced --> Performance --> Settings --> Advanced --> And check out your VM. The paging file should be 1.5 times your physical RAM in WinXP.

Then go to start --> run --> msconfig and make sure that the startup tab has checked only those programs that you regularly use.

Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools Than right click System Tools, click properties, click find target. Should be "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo\msinfo32.exe". Start in "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Share". Verify Security setting on folder "MSInfo" and "msinfo32.exe". If you ran Registry Cleaner e.g. Easy Cleaner go to: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/fix_windows_xp_help.htm .

Thanks to Anna777 and d.walker5 for your answers/suggestions, but I'm afraid the problem remains the same. I appreciate both your efforts. Any other suggestions? MJBMID
