Tech Tips / Windows 2000 Professional / Hardware and Drivers
It's useful to have a system configuration report showing all device resource assignments, drivers, and other data for troubleshooting purposes or as a system snapshot. Whether you have a problem with a device conflict or simply need to plan an upgrade and are looking for available resources (IRQ, DMA, I/O, or RAM), having a report in hand can save a lot of aggravation.
You can use the Device Manager to print a system summary showing basic information, print a report for a given device or class of device, or print a report that shows both. To get your report, open the Device Manager branch of the Computer Management console, and if you want a report for a given device or class, select that class in the right pane. Then, choose View | Print. Select from the three options offered, choose a printer, then click Print. If you want a copy on the disk in editable format, install the Generic/Text Only printer driver and print the report to a file.
