A Diagnostic Dream

If you've been dreaming about the ideal diagnostic software package to cure your computer blues, then PC Clinic is your prescription. Based on renowned Remote Rx and PC Magazine Editor's Choice Award-Winning InfoSpotter technology, PC Clinic is a family of powerful menu-driven functions combining robust systems information, rugged diagnostics, revealing benchmark tests, a rich mix of utilities, and the most comprehensive context-sensitive help system of any diagnostic product in its class, worldwide.

Runs on Everything!

PC Clinic runs in 640K of memory on IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, EISA, PCI, VLB, 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium IV, AMD K5/K6/K7/Athlon, Cyrix 5x86/6x86/MediaGX, WinChip, and clone CPUs. 

PC Clinic runs under DOS 3.0 or later versions, and under Windows 3.1, 95, 98, and ME.  It is provided with its own built-in DOS, and so it operates in a self-booting manner.  For that reason, it will efficiently and effectively test all applicable computer systems that normally run Unix, Linux, OS/2, or Windows NT, 2000, or XP. 

Based on a suite of proprietary, high level tests and utilities developed originally for Intel, PC Clinic contains technology that has withstood picky field testing since 1981!  You get solid reliability, whether you are a professional technician, power user, or novice.

Easy To Use and Absolutely LOADED!

PC Clinic gives you user-friendly menus, context-sensitive help, mouse or keyboard control, functions in the adjacent table, and the following major operations:

Full Logging of Configuration and Test Results

PC Clinic provides a full-featured Test Log to record your test results and any configuration information you desire. You may choose to log to the printer directly, to a disk file of choice, or just to internal memory. You can elect to log only the testing summary showing number of passes and number of failures for each test, or each test in each iteration of a batch mode burn-in test sequence, plus the summary. Because you can log configuration information, you have a handy record to use to verify the customer's system if it is returned for service.

Variety of Versions

Note: See a summary of all the versions on our Order Form

TYPES: PC Clinic is available in the following versions:

• DOS-based Standalone (non-communicating)
• DOS-based Remote Communicating (Serial and NetBIOS)
• Self-booting (for legacy systems only)

STRENGTHS: PC Clinic is also available in the following strengths (each with more or less features than the others):

• Novice (for remote nodes only) - does not run testing till remote connection is made
• User (for OEMs and beginners)- runs testing, but other features are limited - a robust but lite version for frugal users who want to:
  1. See what is in the system
  2. See whether it works
  3. See how fast it is
  4. Get an education on PC testing
• Standard (for power users and technicians)- all normal features plus much more, for technicians and PC builders who need to do Burn-In Testing and view system configuration details.
• Professional - special features only for professional technicians, including the ability to view and edit the CPU, MCA, PCI, and PCMCIA databases, tune the clock speed algorightm for new CPUs, and play sound files.
• Custom - you name it and we can make a test for it

COMMUNICATION CAPABILITIES:

Each of the above strengths is available as Local only, or as Controller or Remote Client for remote test. The Remote versions require at least two diskettes because there will be two users: the technician and the client. The Client can be either a User version or a Novice version.

Remote Testing - Revenue Building For Professionals

PC Clinic's remote testing capability lets you run the same tests on your client's computer that you can run on your own, without leaving your office! Imagine the time and money you'll save on unnecessary on-site service calls, especially when the problem was "operator error". You can "shell to DOS" on the client's computer and run normal text-based programs while the client watches! This means training is built-in! To achieve remote testing, you need two diskettes:

• Controller - For the technician. Does complete testing on the local system, and allows the technician to control testing on the Remote Node
• Remote Client - For the remote user. Provides a reduced feature mix until connected to a Controller, then provides full professional-strength features under control of the technician. If you want to bundle PC Clinic with systems or computer parts you sell, click here to see our PC Clinic Remote Diagnostic OEM Program.

The user at either the local or the remote site end can run PC Clinic and initiate a phone call to the other via modem, or via null modem cable attached to serial ports. When the Controller and Remote client have recognized each other, the test menu appears and the Controller operator can transfer files, run external programs, test the remote system, and chat "on-line" with the client. PC Clinic has seven levels of Password Protection built in to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive areas of the customer's system.

PC Clinic Remote Client - User Version for OEM BUNDLES

PC Clinic Remote User version is the perfect software package to bundle with computer systems, motherboards, CPUs, adapter cards, disk drives, memory modules, and other system components. To read all the reasons why, see the topic on our PC Clinic Remote Diagnostic OEM Plan.

PC Clinic Remote Clent - Novice Version for Maintenance Pros

With the PC Clinic Remote Novice version, the remote operator cannot view the main menu and cannot initiate any test or utility actions with the software until the control site allows it. Thus, you don't risk damage to the system by an unskilled remote user.

Yes, PC Clinic is a technician's dream tool. Remote testing rounds out your customer service. If specified into all maintentance agreements, you will lower customer support costs and increase customer satisfaction.

Self-Boot

Self-booting PC Clinic lets you test without DOS. This is important when a system defect prevents the operating system from loading. That means it's perfect for PCs that normally run OS/2, UNIX, and Windows and make hardware testing difficult. All you do is insert the floppy into the drive and press Reset or Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the computer. PC Clinic SB loads immediately without DOS and presents its menu.

This version is for legacy systems only. To find out why, read the PC Clinic Self-Boot page.

Cool Things You Can Do with PC Clinic

Here are just of a few of the many great things you should know about PC Clinic:

1. It works over a modem line OR a network, even if the network is not up and running, simply by putting out a signal over the cable which both nodes pick up on and sync up on. (As long as they are physically connected.)
2. From the Controller you can look at and edit the remote computer's setup in CMOS RAM, CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and other configuration files, save the remote CMOS RAM contents to a file in case of battery loss, reboot the remote computer from the controller computer. When the remote system comes back up, it can automatically call up the controller computer so its operator can continue the diagnostic session and verify the configuration changes.
3. You can edit the remote computer's config.sys and autoexec.bat files, save them on his hard drive, and reboot him remotely, and they will sync back up when his machine comes back up.
4. The controller operator can tweak his WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI files and restart the remote system to get its programs running correctly.
5. The controller operator can go shell to the DOS prompt on the remote system and run any of its text mode programs to make sure the system is working properly, OR to train the remote user.
6. It will run under Windows (just toggle out to the DOS prompt first).
7. The controller operator can suck all the files from the remote system drives, back them up on the controller drive, reformat the remote drive (remotely), and then put all the files back!
8. The controller operator can set up a BAT file to zip the remote user's favorite important database files every night, then call up and suck those files over to the controller system's drive for backup. This is VERY important because a fire in the remote office can destroy data on the system AND the backups.
