Info works fine for me.
Typing in
$ info
gives me this:
File: dir,      Node: Top       This is the top of the INFO tree

  This (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics.
  Typing "q" exits, "?" lists all Info commands, "d" returns here,
  "h" gives a primer for first-timers,
  "mEmacs<Return>" visits the Emacs manual, etc.

  In Emacs, you can click mouse button 2 on a menu item or cross
reference
  to select it.

Welcome to Info version 4.2. Type C-h for help, m for menu item.

Do you have the pinfo program installed?

If so, what does it do when you try to run it?

If not, you can install it with the setup.exe program and see if it
works but info still doesn't.
