how do i repair a certain application's Registry?

noob with an rs · Dec 12, 2006

the application in question is SYSTEM INFORMATION (msinfo32.exe) which is a system tool that comes with windows xp!! when i go to start > prgorams > accessories > system tools > SYSTEM INFORMATION nothing happens.. after some research i read that i should have a certain registry key for the msinfo system tool.. i checked my regedit and i dont have it, so obviously its not working because of smoething having to do with it being registered to windows.. what should i do next? can i re-register msinfo32.exe or soemthing??

ps- i need to use system information to get some information about my sata controller (in case youre wondering)!!

this registry link is associated with the help and support part of your xp build...what are you trying to see about your system exactly that you need to run sys info

i need to flash something and in order to flash it, its flash file needs some hex editing done to it to identify my sata controller's device ID and I/O Ports.. basically, i need to figure out the 6 I/O port values for my sata controller and it needs to be in 0x0000000 format (hex is it?) and the PNP device ID to complete the flash file and get to flashing already.. but i cant even get in system information to get this simple piece of information..

(edit: if i go to device manager and then go to my SATA CARD's PROPERTIES, i can obtain the required information in the DETAILS and RESOURCES tab... well, im not sure if the values in the resources tab are equivalent to the format im looking for.. in other words: for example, my RESOURCES tab reads the following for I/O RANGE

C000 - C00F
BC00 - BC0F
B800 - B80F
B400 - B40F
B000 - B01F
AC00 - ACFF

can these be translaated to that 0x000000000 format???
