Windows,

do

as

follows:

Click

Start

.

2.

Move

the

pointer

to

and

then

to

PC-Doctor

for

Windows

.

.

Choose

one

of

the

tests,

from

Attention

Running

any

tests

may

take

up

to

several

minutes

or

longer.

Make

sure

you

have

time

to

run

the

entire

test;

do

not

interrupt

the

test

while

is

running.

The

System

Test

the

Test

Scripts

runs

some

tests

of

critical

hardware

components,

but

it

does

not

run

all

of

the

diagnostic

tests

in

PC-Doctor

for

Windows.

If

PC-Doctor

for

Windows

reports

that

all

of

the

tests

in

the

System

Test

have

been

run

and

that

it

has

found

no

problems,

consider

running

more

of

the

tests

in

PC-Doctor

for

Windows.

If

you

are

preparing

to

contact

the

Support

Center,

be

sure

to

print

the

test

log

that

you

can

rapidly

provide

information

to

the

help

technician.
