Humpty Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Want to know the time and date you installed XP or Vista. Open cmd and type - systeminfo |find /i "install date" - with quotes, hit enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpty Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Doesn't work for me - 'systeminfo' is not recognized as an internal or external command Copy and paste from my first post the command into the cmd window in case a space may have been missed. Or change the directory to C = cd c:\ and then try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpty Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hmmmm, weird. Another way to determine the system install time and date is with SIW. Under the first option - Operating System - Installation Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the first option - Operating System - Installation Time. Yup, I've got SIW and found it in that (18/9/07 17:22). Dunno why it doesn't like that systeminfo command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeeCee Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 You're not alone JD, mine wouldn't have it either. Don't work for me either. Could it be, that systeminfo command only works on XP Pro? I checked with aida32 and mine is installed 18.5.2004. Yes, i haven't reinstalled or repair installed XP, since i got this computer. This computer was build in a computer shop, from where i also bought all the components. Before this one i got used Pentium II, with Windows 98SE. I got that computer about an year. It was my first "decent" computer, with internet connection. I reinstalled that 98SE several times. It was very unreliable and unstable...

Humpty Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 XP Pro here. Googled around a bit and it seems it's not available in XP Home! Sorry to all the home users. OH well, you can always right click the windows folder and find the date in properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

login123 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I entered this: find /i "install date" DOS went off looking for it, for about an hour...find is a valid command, but DOS never did find the date. used SIW, found it. SIW is pretty remarkable. Anyway, thanks for the info. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
