Welcome to SiSoft Sandra, a system analyser, diagnostic & benchmarking utility. Please take a few moments to review these tips: they may prove very useful!
For information on the Professional version and other more advanced versions go to 'Help - Order Professional Version'.
If you turn 'Tip of the Day' off, it is available from the 'Help' menu.
This new version of Sandra has a wealth of new features. Most do not fit the toolbar, so make sure you explore the menus, pop-up menus, modules and wizards.
If you don't know how to do something, look it up in Help. Most dialogs have detailed on-line help (F1), context help and/or pop-up help (right-click).
Check up the web topics for up-to-date information. From the menu click 'Help - Web Help Topics'.
You can right-click if in doubt! Many features, help and options can be used this way.
There is a comprehensive FAQ in the SiSoft Utilities group as well as our website. Please study it carefully.
