LoL! But as you mentioned, boot time will at least get it started. @TGB I think that they did indeed “improve it out” of the software. LoL!

So type systeminfo | find "Boot Time" instead on a Vista box. Don't know why they changed it. Apparently they no longer work it out for you either and just show the date, leaving you to do the maths yourself. Yikes lol. That's the new and improved version for you..... :-D If that doesn't work just type systeminfo on its own and see what's still available then search for the appropriate section title or whatever next time. They must still have something along that line. They couldn't have improved it right out of the software surely..... :-P I don’t have Vista myself so can’t check, but I’m told that you just need to change the search phrase to “Boot Time” instead of “Up Time”. So type

systeminfo | find “Boot Time”

instead on a Vista box. Don’t know why they changed it. Apparently they no longer work it out for you either and just show the date, leaving you to do the maths yourself. Yikes lol. That’s the new and improved version for you….. :-D

I tried it on Vista, but no "Up Time" reported anymore (?). Works great on the Win2k and XP boxes I tried though :-) TGB – That’s just brilliant!

It does appear that its about twice as fast as PSinfo too. Oh nice…I’d never thought of using system info like that. It does appear that its about twice as fast as PSinfo too.

Only 8 days here and feels like it's overdue for a flush but then it IS actually doing something 24/7... lol Turns out typing

systeminfo | find “Up Time”
