In most Unix and Unix-like systems (BSD, Linux, Mac OS X), issue the command

uname -a

For Mac OS X, you can also find the system info by selecting the "About This Mac" option from the Apple menu.

In MS-DOS and compatibles, enter

ver

In Windows, either run the command "winver" or right-click "[My] Computer" and select "Properties."

When a system says it is unable to open an application because it is not supported it means that the application was written for a version of the system other than the one being used. For example newer software written to work with Mac OS X 10.6 may not always work with older versions of Mac OS X as it is requires features from the new version which are not in the older version. If software has specific system requirements these are usually stated on the packaging or on the developers website.
