From the Start button, go to Run. Type "Winver" (minus the quote marks)

in the Open: window and click OK. A dialog box should appear and the

information is in it.

- When you boot up - what picture is displayed?

 

- If you go to a command prompt - type in:

 

ver

 

And press enter - what is displayed?

 

- If you right click on "My Computer" and choose "Properties" --> What

information can you gleam from there?

 

- What original CD do you have to do the reinstall? <- may not be accurate,

as all sorts of things can happen - but it can give you a clue to work from

 

- What sticker is on the computer (Windows 98 or Windows 2000?) <- may not

be accurate, as all sorts of things can happen - but it can give you a clue

to work from.

Can you not see when you start your computer?

OR

Start-Run-type in 'dxdiag' without quotes-OK

On the first page that comes up 'system', you should be able see which it is

quite clearly.

Antioch

Usually the easiest way for a novice is to right click My Computer, select

properties

On the next screen, it tells you the version of Windows and the processor &

amount of RAM.
