Hi,

Really all this code references to WMI 
(Windows Management Instrumentation).
Mike Margerum (dontusethis@yahoo.com) sent code that 
uses early binding to WMI services. I have similar 
code in codecentral that uses late binding to WMI.
There are some samples and one of them - obtain 
BIOS information.
Let us try WMI (samples)
http://codecentral.borland.com/codecentral/ccweb.exe/listing?id=19443
The code was created for BCB5 - 
and for BCB6 follow changes required:
Note for BCB6 developers: Before building projects set Registers variables in None in page Advanced Compiler (Project options). This way the problem BCB5-BCB6 incompatibility (type Variant) is solved. 

If to say about WMI - it's native for Win2000/XP 
but for another OS (beg fro 98) WMI Core must be 
installed before.
Vladimir.
