memtest.exe

01-08-2009

Good day everyone.

When I launch the Administrative Tools/Memory Diagnostic Tool in Vista Home
Premium the computer reboots, you get the BIOS screen, then what appears to
be a DOS error screen that says file \boot\memtest.exe is missing or
corrupt. It's NOT at all missing as you can easily see it on the C:\boot
directory, and the version appears to be from SP1.

How can I run the memtest program that came with Vista?

THANKS!

One other option before downloading a separate cd image for the memtest tool is simply to boot off of the Vista dvd and enter the repair tools section. The memtest option is seen there as well as in the boot menu.
