Windows 2000/XP includes a useful and built-in GUI tool named “MSINFO32″ to deliver to the user critical system information. To launch MSINFO32, go to Start -> Run -> MSINFO32. Once in the tool, you will immediately see central information such as your system’s name and manufacturer as well as memory availability and page file information. On the left is a tree-based menu with many useful sub-categories that you can use to investigate system problems or determine potential issues – for example, using MSINFO32, you can view all connected USB devices (including hubs), which is sometimes critical to solving USB issues. Overall, MSINFO32 is a very useful tool for any seasoned user.
