getting uptime via systeminfo

[xadamz23]

Hello,

Every now and then I like to see my system uptime by going to a command prompt and typing "systeminfo".

For some reason it tells me my system uptime is N/A

Below is the output of the command. Does anyone know how or why this happens and also how to fix it?

Hmmm, could it be some BIOS setting? I get it correctly (see attachment).

sysinfo.txt

I dont think it is a BIOS setting.

My computer didnt always display the uptime as N/A. It used to display it correctly. I first noticed it displaying as N/A about a week ago.

I did some searching on Google and there are other people who have experienced this problem. Unfortunetly I couldnt find out if they were able to fix it.

Strange, I cannot get "systeminfo" to work on XP home or Win2k Pro. Is this an XP Pro only option?

I dont know about Windows 2000, but the "systeminfo" command does NOT work in XP Home.

...nor on 2K Pro.
