Diagnostics for Windows

The computer features two system management utilities:
Computer Setup is a system information and configuration utility that can be used
even when your operating system is not working or will not load. It includes custom
settings that are not available in Windows.
To configure a device in Windows NT 4.0, you must use Computer Setup.
Compaq Diagnostics for Windows is a system information and diagnostic utility
that is used within the Windows operating system. Use Compaq Diagnostics for
Windows to test system components and to display system information whenever
possible.
To configure a device in Windows 95 or 98 use the operating system itself.
Windows 95 and 98 can be used to add and remove programs, and provide Wizards
to ensure proper device drivers are installed. Diagnostics for Windows is NOT a
configuration tool and might only test devices that are properly configured by the
operating system.
NOTE: It is not necessary to configure a device connected to a USB connector on
the computer or an optional docking base.
