Operating System Support Information

PCs and PC-like devices run many different operating systems and applications. PC-Doctor diagnostic software takes full advantage of the strengths and opportunities provided by these diverse environments by offering products specifically designed for each of them. We support the environments that are important to you, so if you need comprehensive testing in Linux or any version of Windows, if you want to test independently of the installed operating system, or if you want to test a bare motherboard, PC-Doctor offers the software for you!

Windows

All PC-Doctor products for Windows operate in all current versions of the Windows operating systems — Windows7, Vista, XP, Server 2003 and above along with Windows PE versions 2.0 and above.

Whether you need diagnostics for preloading with your standard Windows platform or to perform testing in your manufacturing, service or repair environment, PC-Doctor has a product with the appropriate feature set to meet your needs.

Android

Android 3.x has brought the tablet form factor into the mainstream and with it, a new set of devices and new set of challenges for OEMs, manufacturing and repair groups. Margins are narrow, competition is high and end-users are unfamiliar with the new OS. This makes it more critical than ever to control costs and establish brand distinction to keep consumers happy. As PC-Doctor has done for almost 2 decades, our diagnostics for Android help OEMs and service/repair groups definitively identify hardware problems, keep support costs down and inspire end-user confidence in your brand.

Leveraging the ability to test the primary components at the standard Linux layer in the Android OS, PC-Doctor provides low-level hardware testing. In addition, tablet-specific functions for common end-user complaints related to tablet features such as touch screen, sound, camera, sensors, etc. are part of the diagnostic suite providing full system diagnostic coverage.

As with our Windows preload products, we provide the optional ability for OEMs to identify trends in device health, product distribution, and diagnostics failures. This gives OEMs the edge they need to get ahead in the Android market while others struggle to learn how their products are distributed and are performing in the field.

Linux

PC-Doctor’s industry-standard hardware diagnostics are available in this powerful, royalty free operating system. All PC-Doctor Linux products provide automated testing, detailed system information, simultaneous testing of multiple devices, and device-specific testing. Versions are available for factory, consumer, enterprise and pre-boot applications. All PC-Doctor Linux products are available for 32-bit and 64-bit processors from Intel and AMD.

PC-Doctor Linux products offer multiple user interfaces, including graphical, text mode, and command line. They can be integrated with other user interfaces or applications using the Advanced Services API (ASAPI). PC-Doctor’s Diagnostic API (DAPI) can also be used to add new test modules to increase test coverage.

DOS

Using the venerable DOS operating system provides PC-Doctor for DOS and PC-Doctor Service Center with several distinct advantages. The diagnostics and system information tools can directly access hardware devices in ways not possible in Windows. The operating system and diagnostics have such a small footprint that they both fit on a single diskette.

PC-Doctor DOS products can test PCs via a bootable diskette, CD, disk partition, or USB device, even when a system cannot boot to the installed operating system. These products are used by service technicians, service and repair centers, PC and PC-type manufacturers and end users. Users can choose between an intuitive graphical interface and command line operation. Powerful scripting capabilities make PC-Doctor for DOS a popular choice for high-volume PC manufacturing and service organizations.
