Anyone have step by step instructions on how to post system specs to this forum using HWINFO32? The thread about how to post specs that is already on this forum don't have info on how to post to this forum using HWINFO32.

Hey Fyrmnj
You could always just copy the info from hwinfo32 by hand there really isnt that much.
But and this is from every one who does this daily. IT IS IMPORTANT TO FILL IN YOUR SYSTEM SPECS. Its the only way we know what your hardware is. On a daily basis I have to ask 50 or more ppl to fill them in just so I can help them
Thanks In Advance

Tews, DNG, everyone.
We should make this a why thread. Every time we find one empty we snip the open sys specs and say why we couldn't help. Maybe It will sink In

a tad harsh. i mean some people dont really know whats in their pc's. Mass produced models usualy have some tag, that says some crap about "Duel-Core" and "Fast Memory"
with out actually stating what the actual specs are. for some, less tech savvy, folks might just assume that they have a blinkly light box, that makes noise... and wont know whats in there, unless we help em.

While it may be a tad harsh, and I agree, if this were a car instead of a computer they would know its a ford prius. they might know it gets 22mpg. they would know where to add gas.
In any complex system there has to be a modicum of understanding, and effort. I dont think the ppl who are talking about a failed service dont have the smarts to fill in the specs. I have had to ask the same user on 5 different occasions what hware they had.
Im a little less patient these days cause I can usually tell alot abt how much effort someone is going to put in to fix their own problem.
We all know to google, and search here first. Maybe they dont the first time. After months of being here and reading posts you would think that those users would fill them in.
A perfect example is this one

The easiest way to find your system specs is to type DxDiag in the 'start search box'. Click on the blue/with yellow X icon ... then click on "Save All Information" button (at the bottom of open window).
A notepad .txt file will show up on your desktop. From there, you can see your specs ... fill in what's appropriate
Hope this helps!
