2.4.1 Installing Configuration Record

The Configuration Record is part of Diagnostics for Windows and is automatically installed at
the same time as Diagnostics for Windows.

2.4.2 Running Configuration Record

To run this program:
1. Click Start > HP Information Center > Configuration Record.
Alternately, you can access Diagnostics for Windows via the control panel.
✎
The Configuration Record utility has two view options: Show Changed Items Only and Show
All. The default view is Show Changed Items Only, therefore all the text is displayed in the
color red since it shows only the differences. Switching to Show All displays the complete,
comprehensive view of the system.
2. The default view is Show Changed Items Only. To view all the information gathered by
Configuration Record, click View at the top of the window and select Show All, or click the
Show All Items icon.
3. To save the information in the left or right window, select File > Save Window File and then
select Left Window File or Right Window File.
✎
Saving the configuration of the computer periodically allows the user to keep a history of the
configuration. This history may be useful to you in the future if the system ever encounters a
problem that needs debugging.
4. To exit Configuration Record, click File, then click Exit.
