about the number of times each test was run, the time taken
for the test, and the number of errors detected. You can save
this information by clicking the Save button at the bottom of
the window.
The Error tab provides details about the errors detected,
including error codes. These error codes reveal useful
information that a Compaq technician uses to advise you
on how to correct problems with your Notebook.
