Can anyone help?
How do you would check the compatibility of your hardware, software and operating system?
Thanks.

    Have you got anything in particular you want to check??

    Most hardware is designed for Windows XP as most PC's run on it.

    If you buy some hardware the the box will probably say "designed for windows xp".

    Again, most software is built to work on XP to allow them to access the largest market.

    If you are running a Linux operating system things get trickier and a lot of searching around is needed.

    My wireless card for instance won't work under Linux.
