Howdy ems1daug-ga,
This Annoyances.org message thread (among others) verifies that "cinfo.xml"
is a real file.

Locate your Microsoft Windows XP installation CD, and then reinstall the
version of MSN that is on that disc:
a. Put the Windows XP CD into your CD or DVD drive.

c. Double-click Add or Remove Programs.
d. In the left column, click Add/Remove Windows Components.
e. When you are prompted for the file location, enter the name of the CD

There seems to be several approaches to resolving the problem of not having
the "cinfo.xml" file, including (re)installing MSN Explorer.

"Installing MSN Explorer is easy and will only take a few minutes."
The above referenced Annoyances.org message thread outlines a different and
more technical solution. You might want to read it in detail for other tips,
such as contacting the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of your computer.
If none of the procedures above work, (re)installing Windows XP Service Pack
2 (SP2) seems to have worked for others.
If you need any clarification, please feel free to ask.
