nellie2 Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 AIDA32 has been top dog in the computer inventory and audit category for some time. But recently it was announced that all future development work on AIDA32 has ceased. :( WinAudit is a tiny freeware utility that, according to the website, "performs an exhaustive audit of the hardware and software configuration of your computer. The audit report contains details on installed software, license information, peripherals, memory usage, processor model, network settings, etc." It's a nice product providing similar information as AIDA32 for a single PC, but it doesn't work over networks. However, the tiny size of the program, combined with the fact that it needs no installation, opens up the possibility of sending it to all PCs on the network for remote execution.

Boris Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Interesting post nel.Sorry - but I don't like it !It seems slow to run ?It didn't recognise my Lexmark 1150 as the default printer.It restricts the original text report to 60kThe report has been truncated to 60,000 characters because of a possible limitation in the operating system. To view this report in its entirety first save it, thenview the saved file in your browser, word processor, spreadsheet or other text viewer.You get masses of stuff which isn't all that interesting - in a straight text listing - which you can save in a half dozen formats (but its still just a list)It doesn't seem to look for motherboard details ?Doesn't show SMART and drive details half as well as AIDA did.I shall definitely continue to use the "real" AIDA32 replacement - Everest Home fromhttp://www.lavalys.com/index.php?page=product&view=1- who purely coincidentally :rolleyes: have just appointed Tamás Miklós as CTO and Executive Vice President of Software Engineering Research & Development. He was the man behind AIDA32.See - http://www.lavalys.com/index.php?page=view&article=8 for details.See my original thread for Everest and other options to replace AIDA32 ?http://www.windowsforum.org/forum/index.ph...8996&hl=Everest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Isn't it just another software program that we don't really need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Isn't it just another software program that we don't really need?In a way yes - But it does have it's uses.It allows you to get more information about your computer that your Windows OS cannot provide.

Agent Smith Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 I seem to remember that Mr M liked it (Everest) as well ?Yep, Everest gets my vote.As Andsome says, it is not required for all users, but for those of us who do need to use such tools, I think it is a great piece of freeware.Mr. M.
