Systems submitted to WHQL for the 1999-2000 Windows Logo Program for Hardware are required to have all components logo'd with a PC 99 designation on the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). The Logo'd Components Test relies upon an up-to-date index of these components. After installing the HCTs, download and execute the newest Logo'd Components Index to ensure the most current results. WHQL updates the index of logo'd components daily.

For PC 99 testing with HCTs 9.0 and 9.1 you must download the Logo'd Components test full install from the Test Kits page.

Click "Yes" or "No" for each confirmation box, depending on whether the device in question is an integrated device or not.
The logo'd components test completes, and either passes or fails.

Issues

If the test system has integrated components and a motherboard made by the same manufacturer, it will fail the logo'd components test because the vendor IDs of the motherboard and integrated components are identical. This failure is acceptable, make a note of it when you make your sumbission.
