When reporting an issue while using Presonus products on Windows computers to Presonus Support, we may request a System Information File. This file is also known as a "NFO" file. This file contains information about your computers hardware and software environment. When relevant, Presonus Support will request this to troubleshoot your computer. During your support ticket request process, you can either create and attach an NFO file, or when support requests the NFO file, create and attach the file to your ticket. This is extremely important, and will help us to quickly resolve reported issues.
To get started, please press the key combination [WinKey]+R on your QWERTY keyboard. This will bring up the 'Run' window.
****Make sure all Audio/MIDI hardware is connected to the computer and powered on before generating the NFO file.
When the 'Run' window opens;
- Type 'msinfo32' without quotes.
