It is a Windows tool... here's a piece that I wrote for some unfinished TechNotes:
HWINFO.EXE
Microsoft Hardware Diagnostic tool, provides color-coded information to identify values or issues with hardware devices or software. The following colors are used in Hardware Diagnostic:
Green - All keys from the registry Pink - File attributes information Dark Red - Configuration Manager information Bold Red - Error information Bold Blue - Warning information
You can use the View menu to change how Hardware Diagnostic reports its information. Choose from the following view options:
- All devices (default)
- Current devices
- Devices with problems
- File verify
- Resource summary
To start Hardware Diagnostic, type the command: hwinfo /ui
Use the Filter menu to filter out certain device class information.
: Is hwinfo actually a Windows 98 utility? Or is it a utility that can be used on Windows 98, huh?
