Determining System information
I need to identify the system info on my nephew's computer (specially the video card). I have Norton utilities which does a nice job of showing all of the system info. My question is do I have to have a program to determine this info and if so is anyone aware of a shareware program I can download?
thank

Personally, I would remove Norton Utilities. If you actually use it to try to fix problems it detects, it sometimes causes evenmore problems.

Try adia, or if it's XP, look under system properties or even in the device manager for a rough idea of what he has.

Try this: Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Information.
It will give a lot of data on your system, without going to the trouble of downloading external utilities. |
