1. Open your command prompt by going to Start > Run and typing “cmd” without the quotes.
2. Type at the prompt, again without quotes, “net statistics workstation” and hit enter.
3. The first information you see (“Statistics since…”) will tell you how long the computer has been on.Quote:quote:Originally posted by shifter1. Open your command prompt by going to Start > Run and typing “cmd” without the quotes.

The “systeminfo” command is non-existent on my computer, are you sure this came with your operating system? Or is it maybe an XP pro tool only?

Hmm
open CMD
type CD
now type CD WINDOWSSYSTEM32
now try SYSTEMINFOif you just want a running tab on different system statistics, you can get Samurize. it displays various information about your computer, its fully customizable, etc… i use it to show uptime, the date, how much drive space i have left, memory i’ve used, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg for what it can do

I downloaded the Samurize thing. It’s pretty cool. Still trying to figure everything out with it.
The thing I don’t like is is that it doesn’t keep count of total uptime. It resets after you restart. I’ve tried the suggestions listed above but they don’t work. Is there anyway I can find out the total uptime of my computer?

I don’t know – All my desktops are running XP Pro, and I don’t have access to XP Home Edition.
I just searched, it’s “systeminfo.exe” (67KB) and in c:WindowsSystem32
I guess it’s not in XP Home. If you bought the computer with the OS preinstalled they might have done something to the OS. I remember that command prompt was all screwed up – we had to be in c:WindowsSystem32 to use any commands (Ping, TraceRT etc.)
If anybody out there hasn’t been able to get those commands to work, I found a good program that keeps the uptime of your computer. It has a log so it keeps count of the total uptime, when your computer is rebooted, and more stuff like that. If you are interested in it, it is at http://www.rundegren.com/ and click on software.
