Computer Diagnostic Features
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
shaded check boxes that cannot be selected.
