In some cases you may be prompted to reboot once after installing the runtime. [ Some systems may not need the runtime or have it already installed. If you get any errors when starting the program, the missing runtime is likely to be the cause. ] Win95 users: This program has limited functionality under Win95, but you are encouraged to try it. WinXP and above, users: Good news - The program may run on XP and above without the need to install the vb runtime because it usually comes with the operating system. ------------------------------------ Emsa PC FlexInfo - System Information and Diagnostics Utility for Windows 9x/ME/NT/XP/2000/2003 --------------------------------------------------------- This program is FREEWARE. Please refer to the license.txt file for more information. Emsa PC FlexInfo is a freeware system information and diagnstics utility. What it does is, gathering system information data, also benchmark (CPU Speed test), and network info (IP and host lookup, Ping tool). It also shows realtime stats on items like CPU and memory load. The system information data is presented as text so it can be copied and pasted into documents. This program was designed with simplicity in mind, but usefulness for the user. It is to be mentioned that we do not intend to stop here. We consider this application as a starting point, a platform on which new things will be added in time and possibly evolve into a series of different products. Due to this fact, we recommend to check back often. We are definitely going to add new things to this application as well as other useful tools, within the next months from the original release. Please visit our website : http://www.e-systems.ro/ for more free downloads. New things are added on a constant basis. System information ------------------ The system information provides various informations about the local system ,like Operating System name and version, system folders, Service packs, cpu information, keyboard, mouse, environment variables, system drives information, memory allocation, supported screen modes, processes running, power & battery status, sound devices, services, local IP address & host, system.ini and win.ini files. Realtime info ------------- The CPU graph and memory indicators show realtime info about these parameters, like memory allocation and page file. Benchmarking ------------ The CPU speed test allows you to check the estimated PR factor of your machine. The test takes about half a minute. Please note that most benchmarking operations stress hardware components - therefore weak or faulty components may occasionally fail during tests. We are not responsible if they do so - you run the test at your own risk. Make sure you close as many applications as possible before running the speed tests, so they do not interfere with the testing process. It is recommended that you perform the test 2-3 times to be sure of the result. PR factor: This is an estimated figure and may be different from other tests.For comparison, here are a few test results from practice: 1. Pentium 4/1800 Mhz -- PR 1780 (Intel mode) 2. Pentium III/800 Mhz -- PR 800 (Intel mode) 3. Pentium III/1200 Mhz -- PR 1215 (Intel mode) 4. Athlon Palomino 1700+ -- PR 1720 (AMD mode) Network info ------------ The network info section allows resolving remote IP addresses and hostnames, as well as pinging ip/hosts. More functionality will be added in future versions. Tools ----- These are actually a few simple gadgets that may come in handy. For example when checking disk space you may want to empty your recycle bin before checking the space. System requirements ------------------- Any usual Windows machine with about one mbyte of disk space will do. 800x600 min screen resolution. Compatibility notice -------------------- Please note that not all functions work on all operating system. On some operating systems some of these tools may not work at all or fail at some point. While we are making effort to make this application as compatible as possible with a large number of systems, it is to be observed that due to large number of configurations not all operations may be available on a certain system.
