System info app.
I am running a computer on windows me, and I can't seem to find where it
tells me the exact motherboard, video card, and processor specs. My display isn't working right, and I need to install new drivers, and motherboard patches. On windows XP there is a system info application that you can get to by going to Programs\accessories\system tools\ system info. I am wondering if ME has that application as well, and if so, then how do I get to it. Thanks, Bewchacca |

MSInfo32.exe is what you are looking for - this is the same as in XP. This
file is located in the Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo folder. You can launch this using Start | Run and enter MSInfo.exe in the box and then click OK or from the shortcut at Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools as well as from various links in Help & Support. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Mickey Grant wrote: I am running a computer on windows me, and I can't seem to find where it tells me the exact motherboard, video card, and processor specs.

Mike - slight typo there....
You can launch this using Start | Run and enter ***MSInfo32.exe*** in the box and then click OK or from the shortcut at Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools as well as from various links in Help & Support (msinfo.exe doesn't exist in MEg) -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Mike M" wrote in message ...

Thanks Noel - as you say a typo but nevertheless one that would mean the
command failed. I blame not having my specs on (at long last located this morning) and in my defence I at least managed to use the correct msinfo32.exe at the beginning of my message. :-) -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Noel Paton wrote: Mike - slight typo there....
