What exactly do you want to check, and why?
There are thousands of things you can check, but I need more information to be able to point you in the right directionCo-ordinator for PoW project Southern Region 08

I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you mean checking what version of Windows you're running?
In XP, click on Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System (or Start > Control Panel > System, if you're using "classic view")
In Vista, click on the Start button > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System (or Start button > Control Panel > System, if you're using "classic view")Last edited by Cloggie; 18-02-09, 11:48.Sarah

It depends if you have the latest updater software installed.
If you get a screen with two buttons on it 'Express' and 'Custom' you have the latest updater and you just need to click on 'Express'. The updater will check your Windows and then list any updates that are required. Just OK it and it all happens automagically.
If the update site reports that you don't have the latest version of the updater, it should offer you the chance to download it. Just follow the prompts. I think as part of that process it checks for 'Windows Genuine Advantage' to make sure you have a legal and registered copy of Windows.Co-ordinator for PoW project Southern Region 08
