IRQs and I/O memory regions being used by devices install on an NT 4.0
workstation.

| Go to Start/Run/ and type WinMSD, or look for winmsd.exe on your system and
run it.
This is a Windows utility that will show your resources like ports, memory
allocations and other pieces of system information you might be looking for.
It's part of Windows 2K, NT and XP. Not sure if it's part of the 9x OS's.

| In all versions of Windows OS's you can run msinfo32.exe to get all of the
information you are looking for. Go to the start menu, go to run and then
type msinfo32. It works really well.

| WinMSD is simply the System Information tool.
Yes, it is a part of Windows 98/ME. Programs --> Accessories --> System
tools --> System Information.
Yes, it is included as a snap-in in Win 2K Computer Management console,
which you can access from Control Panel --> Administrative Tools.
Not sure about NT, try typing it at a command prompt.

| Guessing? In fact WinMSD is Windows NT Diagnostics and no its not a part of
Win98 or ME.
The path you indicate launches msinfo32.exe, a similar utility available in
Win98/ME. Not available in Windows NT (The OS the OP was refering to)

| Where's the guess?
Of course I know the command is msinfo32 in Windows 9x.
Just saying that the System Information utility provided there is equivalent
to the Win 2K snap-in.
I don't know about NT and stated so clearly.

| Well if you weren't guessing then you were just wrong.
You stated that a Windows NT only utility was a part of windows 98.
AND the original question was about NT! Why even respond if you "don't know
about NT"

| Hm... for some reason, I'm missing the replies to my message except for
ImhoTech's. I wonder if there is a problem with my news provider...
I did a little checking and WinMSD is part of the 9x OS. MSD is actually a
utility from the 'old' DOS (for all you yougin's DOS was before Windows
 )...
For NT users, it's more of an information utility. It's not like device
manager where you can manipulate settings and drivers. But it might give
clues to problems or settings within devices if you need a starting point.

| WinMSD is "Microsoft NT Diagnostics" that's the name of the program, not my
interpretation. If you type it in Win 98 or 95 or ME and nothing happens,
type it in NT and it launches Microsoft NT diagnostics, WinMSD.exe
The diagnostics tool is not included in Windows 2000 or XP. What is included
is a file of the same name winmsd.exe that is simply a pointer to
msinfo32.exe
If you have access to a Windows NT machine you can copy winmsd.exe from the
NT machine to the 2k or xp and (replacing the existing winmsd) and use the
Windows NT diagnostics.

| I just ran WinMSD on an XP system, and an NT system and you're right. One
is System Information, and the other is Windows NT Diagnostics.
Now I have a question. Looking at the information you can gather with each
tool, what is the difference between the two?
Just doing a quick look through (because the systems are so far apart and I
don't feel like walking back and forth just to type a summary...) it looks
like the System Information program is more informative.

| You are correct. The newer one is more detailed. There is a bit of
difference connecting remotely to networked NT computers with Win2k.
The Microsoft Management console snap in uses System Info so if your
network contained NT machines you need to either replace the Winmsd.exe on
the 2000 system with the copy from the NT box and run Winmsd or install
Windows Enterprise Based Management on the NT Machine.
Really only a question of how much detail you want.
