Compaq Diagnostics for Windows

The Compaq Diagnostics for Windows (DFW) utility is a component

of Intelligent Manageability that allows you to view information

about the hardware and software configuration of your computer

while running Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Windows 98,

Microsoft Windows Me, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft

Windows NT 4.0, and Microsoft Windows XP). It also allows you to

perform hardware and software tests on the subsystems of your

computer.

When you invoke Diagnostics for Windows, the Overview screen is

displayed, which shows the current configuration of the computer.

From the Overview screen, there is access to several categories of

information about the computer and the Test tab. The information in

every screen of the utility can be saved to a file or printed.

✎To test all subsystems, you must log in as the administrator. If you do

not log in as the administrator, you will be unable to test some

subsystems. The inability to test a subsystem will be indicated by an

error message under the subsystem name in the TEST window or by
