| 118428 | 2003-02-05 00:44:00 | Hi I am looking for a piece of software that can scan a computer, (Hardware and Software) and check for any errors or misconfigerations, or other problems. I would prefer if it were free but if there is a cost can it be bought in a box in NZ I would love to know of any known diagnostic software. Thanks |

If this isn't what you are looking for, I'm sure someone else will be able to point you at a software package that will do the job you require. na, Dyan |

| 118431 | 2003-02-05 06:25:00 | Go a range of O\S software and hardware you want this proggie to work with?? | Rod ger (316) | ||
| 118432 | 2003-02-05 07:11:00 | I work on fixing computers and sometimes you don't always know what is causing a problem etc. The main OS the program would be used on is Windows 95 and up, Linux isn't a huge concern at the moment. the Hardware and software is pretty much as wide a range a possible. | NathanTheKind (472) | ||
| 118433 | 2003-02-05 08:30:00 | I'd be inlined to to think about small separate dos based programs that can be run from a boot disk and floppies, rather than one all 'can-do' windows program. A comp will often boot into dos when it wont get into windows due to some problem or other. It isnt really convenient to load windows programs onto a comp that may be dodgy to find out where the dodginess is :) You can get cpu , hard drive, vga, memory, floppy drive, monitor, CDROM drive, test utils all in dos for hardware testing as well as sysinfo utils. SiSoft Sandra though, is a good windows based sysinfo/benchmark/ with some diagnostic tune up info program. |

| 118435 | 2003-02-05 20:05:00 | :) You must be lacking in sleep. it makes sense, it is telling you that you need to run defragmentor, as the hard drive is badly fragmented. | NathanTheKind (472) | ||
