242228 2004-06-06 07:02:00 Are you wanting to display system information? Give Sisoft Sandra (http://www.sisoftware.net/) a try.

242230 2004-06-06 08:04:00 Thank you , gentlemen; I shall give both of your suggestions a try. Owain Glyndwr (5741)
242231 2004-06-06 12:15:00 I have read that Belarc Advisor is of limited use because it only "sees" what Windows already sees. Other utils are said to be better, including the 2 mentioned above plus Aida32 (or Aida16 if you have a FAT16 system) and Unknown Device Identifier (free from zhangduo.com). Aida is apparently no longer readily available (but search PressF1 for 'Aida' - there was a thread on its availability about a month ago). UDI is said to be designed to find what windows doesn't.

242232 2004-06-06 12:26:00 Thought i might just point out that Everest Home Edition is the successor for Aida.

Came as a surprise to me as well

242233 2004-06-07 07:33:00 Thank you Robin S and Metla. I looked at Sandra and Everest before remembering that I already have Aida 32 in my downloads folder, which is where it's been, uninstalled - among numerous other freebies and shareware - for some months. Good program; and it gives me just what I want. Thanks, everyone. Owain Glyndwr (5741)
