Hi. A bone question really but before reformating an old laptop I want to list all drivers currenty installed. (Just in case it goes horribly wrong!) I tried the command "Driverquery" in the command line but got the message:- "Driverquery is not recognised as an internal or external command operable program of batch file" Im running Windows XP Why is something so simple hurting my head :( Thanks in advance

See help and support pages. Usually you can see what might help. Search for "Get information about your computer" hcp://system/sysinfo/sysinfomain.htm See also msinfo32. hcp://system/sysinfo/sysInfoLaunch.htm# "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

Hi - thanks for that. Will give it a go when my head isn't hurting! :)

Perhaps you mistyped works on XP Usage / Examples driverquery /si [This lists the drivers signing status, whether signed or Unsigned] driverquery /v [ Generates a detailed report ] driverquery [ Lists all device drivers ] To redirect the output to a file, use: driverquery /si >C:\driverslist.txt To redirect the output to excel driverquery /v /fo csv >drivers.csv
