So, uh... Would there be any objections for starting a new thread and re-building the list from scratch? Cephius hasn't been online since 2012, some of the programs on the list are probably horribly outdated, or in worst case virus-infused (SUPER...)
I think it would be a good idea.
I'm getting a used lenovo thinkpad x201 tablet/laptop today that I bought off ebay for work. What are some good diagnostic programs to run (besides windows' memory checker) to make sure I don't get any surprises after the limited(30day iirc) warranty expires?
If you can find an older version of Hiren's that comes with PC Doctor, use the hard drive test to make sure it's not already starting to fail.
