Look In My PC
I've found this free software to be very helpful for diagnostic reports.

Here's the author's description:

"LookInMyPC generates a complete, comprehensive system profile that includes information on all installed hardware and software. Additionally it provides system diagnostic information such as details on running processes, installed services, startup programs, Windows updates and hot fixes, active network and Internet connections, TCP/IP port usage, event log detail, and much more. All this is provided in an easy to read, formatted report that you can view and print using your web browser. We have also hyperlinked many items so you can quickly and easily "Google" them to find out what they are or if some programs might be spyware or viruses. It is also completely non-invasive and makes no changes to your computers settings whatsoever. We have even included a handy function that allows you to create a full system profile and diagnostic report and automatically send it as an email ZIP file attachment to a tech support or help desk person."

BTW, "Lavalys announced today that it leaves the freeware market by halting the development of its EVEREST Home Edition (the successor of AIDA32) system diagnosis product." ...

It doesn't run with Windows ME either. I wonder if there is something comparable for older systems.

Not bad, pretty detailed on what is going on, and I like that fact that you can check what you want.

Thanks,
Joe.

Nice. At the top it will tell you your windows serial number. Now i may never have to worry about forgetting it. I'll have to see if its the original one or the second one i got from formatting.

I like the PCWizard, even better than Look in my PC and Everest. Seems simpler for me to use...or maybe I am just getting a little swifter with comp stuff. Maybe
