MSInfo32.exe error won't allow me to save .nfo files!

Question

I am trying to make a .nfo file for diagnostics of a problem I am having. I run MSInfo32.exe and hit "save." When I try to open the .nfo file, I get the error,

"System Information cannot open this NFO file. It might be corrupted or an unrecognized version."

The people trying to help me cannot open the file either. I've tried making multiple ones, turning off anti-virus and firewall, and even making one in safe mode. Nothing seems to work. What can I do?

My system is Vista Home Premium x86 SP1.

Answer 1

Since .nfo files have been used for software piracy, Microsoft has that extension associated with Windows. Just name the file with a .txt extension and avoid the problem.

Answer 2

I would suggest to use Everest Home Edition than the MSinfo.

You can download here :

Everest Home Edition is an utility to make THE MOST COMPLETE Report about your PC, the OS, the hardwares, and the softwares. It can also export the report into a .txt, .html files. So neat that this is my favorite than the Standard System Information that came with XP.



Hope it helps,

Answer 3

Try opening it with notepad or wordpad (go into the program and go to File->Open and find the .nfo file). It's basically just a text file that any text editor can open.

<> basically because something it criminal does not propose it is suitable. <> there's a reason you could not spell 'assume' without '***'. those who assume too a lot finally end up making asses of themselves. <> would not make sense, does it - and yet, there you're advocating human beings in simple terms assume the authorities is nice! <> incorrect! <> ad hominem attacks harm your credibility. per chance Marc, like me, would not see too a lot in the way of credibility at the same time as interpreting your question. <> The time period "fetus" actually potential "the more youthful in the womb". The fetus IS a living man or woman. existence starts at theory, not delivery nor some arbitrary aspect in between. hence, each abortion constitutes the homicide of an unborn man or woman. <> in spite of the undeniable fact that the fetus IS human. hence, abortion IS homicide. <> what's so narrow minded about acknowledging the unborn for the living human beings they're? because you're unable to attempt this, does not that propose your concepts is in reality extra narrow than mine? <> That basically is going to reveal how schizophrenic human establishments will be - and also you want to imagine this variety of company (the authorities) is nice.
