This example is just one of many ways that Sysinfo can be very useful.
Accuracy
If Sysinfo reports that an attached component or device is not present, verify that the
system BIOS supports the device and that the device has been installed through the
computer manufacturer or dealer. Make sure the motherboard in your computer
supports the device.
Sysinfo limitations
Sysinfo gathers system information by directly accessing hardware, using standard
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), and traditional software scanning
methods. However, even though a device is present in the computer, the device may
not be supported by the system BIOS in the computer or the necessary drivers may
not be loaded.
Reports
To print the entire Sysinfo report, select Edit Report Parameters from the Sysinfo
Options menu and select LPT1 as the Report destination. Press <F7> to select all
Sysinfo menus when Sysinfo is running, then press <F10> to run all selected menu
items. The entire Sysinfo report on your computer will be printed.
Finding information
Select an option by pressing the → or ← keys, then press <Enter>.
