How to tell exact version of operating system?

Lally

I know there is a code I type in 'Run' which tells me the exact version...but I cant remember it or find it on here. Can anyone help? Im trying to install NOD32 and I need to know. Ta!

Right-click My Computer and click Properties. Look on the General tab for OS info.

On windows xp type in 'winver'
or alternatively open My Computer then click 'Help' > 'About Windows'

There was a thread on this a while back. I'll dig it out for you... :think: Here it is: [thread]128702[/thread]. It is related to Windows98 but the methods of finding out the version of operating system are still the same.

if you have directX installed, then run dxdiag from the run command

Good utility I had forgotten about that
BUT it does not tell you about Win service packs etc as WinVer does

Thanks for that.

Wouldn't it be good if there was a little notepad permanantly available where you could store commands and other little nuggets of info, like that one. :xmastree:

I just use a Word Document to keep all of my useful information. I find it very handy, especially when you turn the Document Map on!
