I am currently using SystemInfo.ocx to return hardware listing to my VB program. My version works well in Win95/98 but not in Win2K or NT. Does anyone have a control, or know where I can get one, that I can use in VB for all versions of Windows?

We haven't experienced problems using the Microsoft SystemInfo Control (SysInfo.ocx) on Win2K.

If your architecture allows, why don't you try shelling MSINFO32.EXE

This provides much more detail, and should suffice if you only require dialog on-screen.

Sorry to have been vague with my question. SystemInfo.ocx is a third party control. I was looking for a newer Win2K compatible version, or one from another supplier. I have solved the problem by using a call to getSytemInfo. Thanks for your help.
