    Could someone with Windows Vista SP2 check MSINFO32 (6.0.6002.18005) to see
    if it's generating .nfo file properly?


    Open msinfo32, save .nfo file and try opening it.


    Thanks.

    Yes - it does save .nfo file and opens it as well.

    I saved a .nfo from a computer running Vista and Microsoft System
    Information 8.0 and I tried opening it on the same computer and it says,
    "System Information cannot open this NFO file. It might be corrupt or an
    unrecognized version."

    It opens up fine though.

    I opened it up the .nfo file with a text editor. It is a XML
    document/format.

    I opened it up with XML Viewer and I get a invalid character was found in
    the text content.

    I'm wondering if this computer is the only one doing that.

    Thanks a lot.

    I don't know why I didn't bother searching for this problem on my own.

    Doesn't work. Anyways, it occurs even when I try to open it from inside
    msinfo32.

    I'm not trying to access it from the floppy drive. The .nfo file is my
    Documents folder on the hard drive.

    XML Viewer says there's an invalid character in the text document, but it
    doesn't tell me where it is.


    Thanks for replying, I appreciate your efforts.
