Other Diagnostic Programs on the Software Selections CD:
The Software Selections CD supplied with your computer also contains
diagnostic programs designed specifically for certain operating
environments (Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT). Because
these versions work with the operating system, they not only test the
hardware, but also analyze certain software components of your computer.
They are especially useful in isolating problems related to the operating
system and device drivers.
