Evelyn, as far as I know MSCONFIG did come with windows ME.  I just did a

The information in this article applies to:

All I can suggest is to make sure they are spelling it correctly in the run

Hi, Debbie,

May I assume that the one for Windows 95/98 also works in Windows ME? A
friend has that oerating system, and it did not come with Msconfig.
