Diagnostics for Windows

The Diagnostics for Windows (DFW) utility allows you to view

information about the hardware and software configuration of the

computer while running Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Windows

2000 and Microsoft Windows XP). It also allows you to perform

hardware and software tests on the subsystems of the computer.

When you invoke Diagnostics for Windows, the Overview screen is

displayed, which shows the current configuration of the computer.

From the Overview screen, there is access to several categories of

information about the computer and the Test tab. The information in

every screen of the utility can be saved to a file or printed.

✎To test all subsystems, you must log in as the administrator. If you do

not log in as the administrator, you will be unable to test some

subsystems. The inability to test a subsystem will be indicated by an

error message under the subsystem name in the Test window or by

shaded check boxes that cannot be selected.

Use Diagnostics for Windows in the following instances to:

■Determine if all the devices installed on the computer are

recognized by the system and functioning properly. Running tests

is optional but recommended after installing or connecting a new

device.

■Third party devices not supported by HP may not be detected.

Save, print, or display the information generated by the utility.

You should run tests and have the printed report available before

placing a call to the Customer Support Center.
