Using System Information to display system data:
System Information collects your system configuration information and provides a menu for displaying the associated system topics. Support technicians require specific information about your computer when they are troubleshooting your configuration. You can use System Information to quickly find the data they need to resolve your system problem.
Notes:
-
You can also start System Information by clicking Start, pointing to Programs, pointing to Accessories, pointing to System Tools, and then clicking System Information.
- To display system data, click the plus signs in the left pane to expand the System Information categories, and then click the item. Depending on the topic, you may be presented with a choice of basic, advanced, or historical system data.
- You can save your system data to a System Information file so that you can display the data again using this application. You can also save the data to a text file, so that it can be faxed from your computer or viewed in another application.
- When data retrieval takes longer than you expect, you can cancel the retrieval process.
- You can use the Tools menu for quick access to the support tools commonly employed by support technicians.
- For more information, refer to the System Information Help menu.
