msconfig problem

When I try to access start-up running msconfig I get a message saying Windows cannot find msconfig or that another programme cannot find a system file. What can I do please?
I've just tried a Google Search as well and find there are sites with downloads of the msconfig.exe file for 95 and 98. Says to put file in the Windows/System folder. I don't have the original Install Disc of ME to get it there. Worth a try?

Got it! It works. Thanks for your patience folks. Just wondering now where it went in the first place.

There should also be a copy of all the Windows ME files in the CAB files. Check in C:\Windows\Options\Intall or \CABS and look for files like WIN_##.CAB.

Plenty of Win_ CAB files in Install. Don't know anything about CAB files JackG. How would I find the former msconfig among them. Do I open each one and look? Would it not have shown up in Seach if it was there? Just interested to know.
