You can see a bit of this information by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1. This displays the Microsoft System Information dialog box. You select different categories by using the tree display at the left side of the dialog box. You can also choose from quite a few more categories, including Proofing, Graphic Filters, Text Converters, Display, Audio, Video, CD-ROM, and OLE Registration.
