Glee, You may have me confused with someone else, I checked out my first
thread (98SE System Information) this morning, there are only three
entries
and two are my questions. I wouldn't have asked these questions again if I
got the answers I needed to solve the problem. I would really appreciate
yours or someoneā?Ts time here to help me solve these issues.
Thanks, Bob

The MSINFO32.EXE (System Information) is nowhere on my computer. There
is
also another missing file in "System Tools", it is Compression Agent.
In the
Programs/Accessories/Internet Tools link there are three files missing,
Microsoft Chat, Net Meeting and Internet Publishing. How do I extract
these
missing files from my 98SE CD and what folder do they get installed in?
Also
where are they on the CD and how do I identify these files? Can you
also tell
me if this 98SE Newsgroup and the 98SE Knowledge Base will be
discontinued
when Microsoft ends support for 98SE in July?
Thanks, Bob
Bob , I looked and here is your response from PCR

This NG will be here a long, long time, by Terhune's word. THIS is where
they all will return TO, after XP burns to a crisp of it's own radiation!
Forget the Compression Agent! Get a larger hard drive, if you need more
space!
You should be able to get Microsoft Chat and Internet Publishing back from
Windows Setup. Where does the following go wrong...?...
(1) "Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Windows Setup tab".
(2) Double-Click "Communications" for Microsoft Chat 2.5.
(3) Put a checkmark in it's box, & click OK.
If already checked, uncheck it & OK out. Then, go back in, & check it.
(4) Double-Click "Internet Tools"... Internet Publishing looks like it is
named "Web Publishing Wizard" there. Take "Personal Web Server", as well.
I don't see where Net Meeting is. I have a folder FULL of it, though...
"C:\Program Files\NetMeeting", & the executable is CONF.EXE. I THINK you may
find it at "START button, Windows Update" in the optionals.
I don't see System Information in there, either. Try...
(1) "START, Run, SFC"
(2) Bolt "Extract one file from installation disk"
(3) Enter "MSINFO32.EXE" in the "Specify..." box.
(4) Click "Start".
(5) It should offer to Save file in...
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSINFO.
If not, make it so.
(6) In "Restore from", if not already pre-filled, browse to
(a) Installation CD (likely the Win98 folder) or
(b) The folder that has your cabs on the hard drive, likely
"C:\WINDOWS\options\cabs\".
(7) Click "OK"
Finally, go to that folder, & create a shortcut to "MSInfo32" onto the
Desktop. You may then R-Drag it to the QuickLaunch Bar or onto the START
menu.

What does it say in the Target field? Here is mine, & it INCLUDES the
quotes...
|
| "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSINFO\MSINFO32.EXE"
|
| (2) "START button, Find, F/F, MSINFO32.EXE"
| Does it show up? In what folder? Does it work if you click it?
