Sometimes you may experience an operating system crash (BSOD) or deadlock after installing Kaspersky Lab software, for example, when booting the system or starting a task. Most probably it is due to a conflict between Kaspersky Lab software and some other software you have installed or some hardware driver. If that happens, Kaspersky Lab specialists may request a GetSystemInfo report for troubleshooting.
There are two versions of GetSystemInfo for different operating systems:
GetSystemInfo version 3.0 | GetSystemInfo version 4.1 |
Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Windows NT 4.0 Server Windows 2000 Professional Windows 2000 Server | Windows XP Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows Servers 2003 Windows Servers 2008 |
Generating a report from GetSystemInfo version 4.1 GUI
- Download and extract GetSystemInfo4.zip archive (version 4.1.0.245) [ZIP, 201 KB].
- Run the GetSystemInfo.exe file on the problem computer.
- Click I Agree in the GetSystemInfo - End User License Agreement window.
- Click the Settings button in the top right corner of the GetSystemInfo 4.1 window:

- Use a slider to set Settings to Maximum to generate the most detailed report.

- Click OK to apply the changes.
- Click Create report in the main GetSystemInfo 4.1 window.
- Wait for the utility to complete generating the report.
