The Windows Vista operating system can self-diagnose a number of common problems, including failing hard disks, memory problems, and networking issues. The Built-in Diagnostics feature in Windows Vista provides the information a person needs to address problems that cannot be resolved automatically. This webcast shows how Windows Vista detects potential issues and raises events, which the person can use to monitor the behavior of desktops in the organization or to troubleshoot problems.
