SYMPTOMS
When you use the System Information tool (Msinfo32.exe) to view hardware or components, the hardware or component you view may have a &quot;Not Available&quot; status. For example, this might occur when you try to view the adapter type of your dial-up adapters.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur for either of the following reasons:
 * The component or hardware has not provided Windows Millennium Edition (Me) with the appropriate information about the component or hardware.
 * Windows Me cannot find any information about the component or hardware in the component or hardware.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
