Why does Vista take so much of your hard disk space when you install it? Don’t know? Even I don’t know the exact answer except the answer it has lots of features and utilities. In fact, there are lots more in Vista than what we know. One such feature is Vista’s in-built feature named Heath Report.

Vista’s Health Report tool generates a report detailing the status of local hardware resources, system response times, and processes on the local computer along with system information and configuration data. This report even includes suggestions for ways to maximize performance and streamline system operation.

This diagnostics tool analyzes and collects the data for 60 seconds and then generates a detailed report. The report is very easy to understand and know even for a new user as it generates the report for different categories like Startup, Services, security etc.

So you have read all the information about this diagnostics tool, but how to access it? Head to Control Panel, click on System and Maintenance, click Performance Information and Tools, and finally open Advanced Tools from the left pane.

Under Advanced Tools window, open the extreme last option (tool) labeled “Generate a system health report”. Once you open the tool, this tool will check your system for a minute and collect data before generating the report.

You should see a green signal in the report if everything is fine with your system. If you see a red alert, just go through the report completely and get the root of the problem.
