Setup and Diagnostic Utilities

Using Compaq Diagnostics

The Compaq Diagnostics utility includes 2 system scans:

■Compaq Configuration Record compares the notebook configuration at the time Compaq Diagnostics was installed to interim or current configurations.

■Compaq Diagnostics provides more complete information about your current configuration as well as options for testing components.

Both Compaq Diagnostics scans are designed to report on Compaq components. If non-Compaq components are scanned, the results may be inconclusive.

❏In Windows 2000 Professional, select Start > Settings > Control Panel.

❏In Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance.

2.Look through the displayed icons.

❏If icons for Compaq Configuration Record and Compaq Diagnostics are included, the Compaq Diagnostic utility is installed.
