In there you can enter commands,

perfmon.msc - Performance monitor

rsop.msc - Resultant set of policies

secpol.msc - Local security settings

services.msc - Various Services

msinfo32 _ System Information

sysedit _ System Edit

win.ini _ windows loading information(also system.ini)

winver _ Shows current version of windows

I did that, but I can't get it to run.

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

reboot?

[aflon.livejournal.com]

Did that and installed it at least twice. I'm just destined not to play at youtube.

I need to set the other computer up and see if that will play.
