I was looking around msconfig.exe program the other day and something looked funny in the boot menu advanced boot options. It was set on one core processor but I have four processors. My question is what would happen if I selected four processors on this option, Any Ideas?

I went to msconfig on my desktop and did something stupid. I changes my setting in msconfig to Dianostic mode and now it won't boot up my drivers. It will boot the O.S but the recycling bin is all I get. It will not execute anything. Is there a way to change the settings back to normal configuration? and how? I tried this and the computer changed back into the same diagnostic mode.but when...

After F8 and onto the boot menu options, my computer refuses to boot in safe mode. It gives me an error of "Sorry for the inconvenience... windows did not boot properly.. a recent hardware or software change might have caused this". The other options like "safe mode with networking" and "safe mode in command prompt" DO NOT work either. I'd have no choice but to choose "start windows ...

As the picture above, there is some untick box there. Is it possible to delete them in the list? This post has been edited by Jounouchi : Nov 25 2009, 11:28 PM

Hi Guys, Having posted earlier in the year with regards to my new build. Which has been up and running succesfully for 6 months now.... The motherboard was shipped with BIOS Version "F4" and I succesfully updated to "F6". Upon checking my system information with msconfig the other night, I found my BIOS has reverted to "F4". I decided to reboot and check the POST screen to confirm....

When I click on Start>Run>regedit or some other command. e. g. msconfig, a familiar black window opens. If I type something else, e. g. , the black box stays open for a second or less (there is no time to read a few lines seen there) and disappears. What gives? Can it be repaired?
I noticed the PC was running slow. Checked MSConfig and there were two entries of something called Service Pack 7 exe running. As best as I can tell it is some sort of spyware/malware. I can't find much info on it and I'm unable to remove it. Anyone familiar with it and how do I remove it? Thank you. Running XP SP3.
