Get system info from Windows XP’s Help and Support Center
When you need to investigate Windows XP system hardware and software, you probably use the
System Information tool found on the Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools menu.
However, Windows XP’s Help and Support Center provides an alternative System Information tool that you definitely should investigate.
Instead of the tree-like structure found in the main System Information tool, the Windows XP’s Help and Support Center essentially creates a Web page, complete with tables and graphics. Here’s how to access the Help and Support Center’s System Information tool:
- Go to Start | Help And Support.
- Under the Pick A Task heading on the Help And Support Center page, click Use Tools To View Your Computer Information And Diagnose Problems.
- On the Tools page, select My Computer Information in the Tools column.
- On the My Computer Information page, select any of the links to view a graphical report of your system.
