Compaq Diagnostics

(available on select models)

Compaq Diagnostics provides an easy way to perform system checks and diagnose problems. When you double-click the Compaq Diagnostics ￿ icon located in the Compaq Support folder on the Windows desktop, a progress bar

is displayed while the application analyses your Presario Notebook for information about its components. After approximately one minute, a Summary window with the component information is displayed.

A row of icons is located at the top of the window. Clicking these icons provides information about the components being tested. Refer to the following table for descriptions of the tabs.

You may conduct a Quick, Complete, or Custom test. If you choose the Quick test, it can be run in either the interactive or unattended mode.

Complete or Custom tests are completed only in the Interactive mode, since they test the audio and video components of your Presario Notebook. You must be present to confirm the test results. Complete testing takes approximately 10 minutes.
