    Can you all tell me where to find on this computer what I need to know??

     "List as much about your computer as possible. This includes operating system (what version of Windows you are using), service packs, computer make/model, RAM, hard drive, sound and video cards"

    Thanks!

    Knowing your OS helps initially but let's assume you have XP

    Just go straight to .... --> Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system information ... and check out what that tells you.

    You may also find some extra info in Device Manager ...... -->Start - settings - control panel - system properties ... select the hardware tab and then click on button for Device Manager...  there you can inspect aspects about each item.
    Ain't technology great - until it goes wrong!

    Or Download and install Everest Home from by clicking  Here and install it.
    Run it and have it save a text report...
    Copy and paste the Computer Summary portion and we'll know everything we need...

    P. S. Thanx for asking ahead of time ...most skip this important step.
    Then someone will be along shortly.

    Some most important info, you can get by holding Windows key, and hitting Pause/Break key.
