Re: [H] Checking when Windows was installed

Testing on two systems.  On one, System Info agrees with the 
msdos.sys and io.sys dates (time is off by minutes.)  On the other, 
msdos.sys and io.sys are 2003, systeminfo says 2004.  The second 
machine had a repair install done once, so I'm thinking that 
systeminfo updates the install date when a system install is 
done.  Both offer good information, however.

Re: [H] Checking when Windows was installed

2006-07-07 Thread Gary VanderMolen

Check the creation date of the C:\WINDOWS folder.

Mine seems to match up with my last reinstall date.


That doesn't seem to work here - I have one machine with an install 
done in December that is showing 2004 for Windows creation date, and 
one that was installed two years ago that is showing a creation date 
of June 30th, 2006.  MSDOS.SYS and IO.SYS (on XP systems) look like 
they might have the correct date of install.  If someone can confirm 
that, it would be great.

I have had a Slingbox for about a month.

Works great for what it is doing.  Picture quality is very acceptable
and music is flawless.
