Generate complete system reports with this easy-to-use freeware that lets you know what's in and on your computer. LookInMyPC offers 40 categories for report contents, including CPU information and installed software, with a check box next to each. Easily understandable buttons offer two shortcuts to select or deselect all reports, and generate them. There isn't a help file, but you'll find links to useful descriptions next to each category within the report. LookInMyPC captures information on all your hardware, from the processor to the mouse, and software, including installed programs, running processes, and Registry run entries. Links for report items launch a Google search. This isn't a diagnostic tool; it won't identify issues or tell you how to fix problems. It does provide comprehensive system information in an easy-to-read format and anyone can use it.

issues on Windows 8
MATT SLATTERYJune 25, 2015
Pros
nothing with this any version as of 2011 version.
Cons
Will not generate report and show you. Instead it wants to email it to you on windows 8 or at least this version does.
Summary
I can not be certain but either this version or Windows 8 will not allow for a direct summary. I have used a previous version a few yrs back that worked fine on all my Windows xp vista 7 and 8. It gave all the info I needed and was right there. Either this version or windows 8 will not allow to show summary, instead it wants to send it via email. Have installed and uninstalled many times with no new outcomes on obtaining the info I want. I find Belarc Advisor or even WinAudit to be much more superior and reliable. So my recommendation for LIMPC is only if you are using say the 2009-2011 version, otherwise don't bother. You should not have to receive by email a report.
Great Product. I love it.

Pros
Complete summary of everything.
Cons
I have not found any at this time.
Summary
Best I've used for this type of PC audit
techon707December 18, 2010
Pros
Installs to USB device, so portable. Very extensive report - includes everything I need and more; It's FREE! Report uses hyperlinks to launch web search on reported items.
Cons
Doesn't report product key(s); Missed Outlook Express as default e-mail in report on test machine; No search feature (had to use "find" function in browser - no biggie, but that might stump some users); Tested on XP-SP3 only so far.
Summary
Provided a LOT of information in one free, easy, fast, portable installation. Only missing a couple of very important line items in the report (reports product serial number but NOT product keys)... almost complete. I expect I'll use it more and will test on other OS's.
Shouldn't require installation
Killroy1971February 20, 2010
Pros
A program designed to provide a quick system report, shouldn't require installation. Converting this to a single-file executable would go a long way to making this a useful tool.
Cons
Installation should not be required.
Summary
Convert this program to a single-file, stand-alone program and re-release.
Rubbish program!
Frogg11February 18, 2010
Pros
None I can think of.
Cons
Errors in program. Either that or it is malware.
Summary
Forget it!
Not funny...annoying and uncalled for...it may work
munns1101February 13, 2010
Pros
I installed the product at the recommendation of a site I trust, and it seemed to do what it was intended to very well. I only ran the report once before uninstalling it.
Cons
Installs "autoerror.exe" which gives random supposedly funny error messages. There's no warning that this will occur.
Summary
Not long after I downloaded it, I started getting pop-up "error messages" from "Dell System Buddy" when I do not have a Dell laptop or any installed Dell software. The errors were strange (e.g., "There's lint in your socket"). A little searching showed that this program installed a program that creates these random erroneous messages. That program can be uninstalled on its own, but I personally don't trust any company that does this without making it very obvious to its software's users.
Excellent

Pros
Excellent program that tells you what's on your system. Good for auditing your system to see what may need upgrading.
Cons
None that I can see.
Summary
great

Cons
none
