Assuming you're typing these commands into the Command or Run Window, what are you typing? If you want System Info, systeminfo is not the command/filename. So, that's explains why it's not working.

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

Systeminfo & tasklist command line works only if you have XP Pro. Don't ask me why - I didn't create XP.

I think that some commands are only available if
you have XP Pro.

Hi there,
Click START
Help and Support
In search line type CMD
At the bottom click "Full text search"
Click "Comand-line reference A-Z"
Bingo!
About 170 commands will be listed and each command can be clicked for details.
Sure, not all of them will work.
Cheers de Peter
