Well, I suppose if 1.07 no longer supports W2K, that 'solves the problems' of v1.06.191 not recognising my NIC, saying I'm not connected, when I truely am and getting "Unknown system error: 0x8004100c" under the Ram tab. WTG :-(

I too have a Win2K system and was Very Disappointed when V1.07 refused to install, as V1.05 errors out in the hard disk detection on this Dell Optiplex GX150 with 20GB and 80GB Western Digital drives.
I noted today that the Speccy online doc STILL says Win2K is supported!
Can I get a copy of V1.06 to try? I can't find old versions on this web site.
Don't expect me to upgrade Windows as I cannot afford what MS extorts for an update, much less a new system.
Thanks.
Speccy 1.07 does still support W2000, so I'm interested to hear more info about the bugs you've reported.

Mr Ron, I think somebody removed W2K from sys req on Speccy's Download Page thus the confusion
System RequirementsRuns on Microsoft Windows 7, Vista and XP. Including both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Sorry for the delays in getting back here it's a busy time of year. I downloaded spsetup107.exe and tried to install it on a old Dell Optiplex GX150 system running Win2K that has Speccy 1.05 on it. The V1.07 installer errored out saying "Speccy requires windows XP or later". I have since installed the portable version on this system and it does work, except for the hard disk problem. I have tried Speccy V1.07 (portable) on a second Dell Optiplex GX150 and it appears to be completely functional! (NOTE: Neither Dell system has the original hard drive in it.) I will get back with detailed hard drive info and I will try to run Speccy in debug mode.
I have read the docs on Speccy and it appears the difference between the Speccy the installer provides and the portable version is a side file; this suggests the actual .exe file is the same. I have deleted the side files from the portable installation and Speccy behaves as the installed version.
Hazelnut, thank you for the link, I didn't think to look on the mirror site. I will try V1.06, but I fully expect it to behave the same with regard to the hard disks. (This sentence added in edit.)
Happy Holidays!
Well here is the scoop on my Speccy disk problem. I ran Speccy in debug mode; every time I run Speccy with the box "Analyze HD data" checked, it fails with this error popup "Mircosoft Visual C++ Runtime Library ... This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.". Whenever I run Speccy with that box not checked, it runs correctly. Enclosed is a debug log file with only the anaylze Hd data box checked, a Save as Text file with all but that box checked, and reports exported from Passmark DiskCheckup V3.0 describing the 2 hard drives in the system.
I don't know how to be of any more help than this (I have programmed 8088 based embedded systems for years but don't know anything about writing for windows.) Good luck, if I can be of further help, please let me know.
Thanks for the logs Tony.
The devs read all the posts so I'm sure they'll take a look at them.
