Is anyone else having trouble running the diagnostics program off the Snow Leopard install disk at startup? I updated to Lion but I don't know if that should have anything to do with it.
Got a tip for us?

Mine didn't work either. I just figured it was a compatibility problem or I was doing something wrong (I've never used it before). Guess it wasn't me and its a bug, or its just not compatible with Lion.
If you find a solution please let me know

The Apple Hardware Test is located on the Applications Install Disc (the second grey disc that shipped with your computer), not the Mac OS X Install DVD (the first grey disc that shipped with your computer).
Try inserting the Applications Install Disc, restart your computer and then immediately hold down the "D" key to launch the Apple Hardware Test (it may take a minute or two as it needs to load from the disc.)
Hope that helps, have a great day.

Ahhh yes. I didn't think to try the app disc, I could have sworn I read somewhere it was the install.
That was my problem. Thanks!
