More info?)
Hi
Yep. I'm using the advanced option and just scanning System.
Originally, I had Millenium installed and then did a clean install of XPPro.
Since then, I've added SP1 and SP2
I've just scanned again and same result.
What is strange is that one of the first lines says
Plate-forme sys. expl. : Windows 2000 (x86), Version : 5.1, numéro : 2600,
version CSD : Service Pack 2
Is this right for XP Pro?
