8-12 SERVICE AND SUPPORT PRESARIO NOTEBOOK BEYOND SETUP GUIDE
1800 SERIES
System Record (available on select models)
System Record reports all of the devices that came with your
Notebook, as well as all the devices you have added or changed
since you purchased your Notebook. System Record highlights
these changes in red. This allows you to isolate and diagnose
possible problems with your Notebook.
To access System Record, complete the following steps:
1. From the Windows desktop, double-click the Compaq
Support icon.
2. Double-click the System Record ¢ icon.
The System Record tab displays the Base.log, which displays
all the devices that came with your Notebook, and the Now.log,
which displays all the devices you have added or changed. The
changes you have made to your Notebook are highlighted in red.
For example, if your Notebook came with 64 megabytes (MB)
of memory and you upgrade to 96 MB of memory, your
Base.log displays 64 MB of memory and the Now.log displays
96 MB. The memory lines in the Now.log are noted in red
lettering, which indicates a change made to your Notebook’s
original amount of memory.
